All or Nothing (2002)

A fairly recently discovered love for Lesley Manville and really enjoying Secrets & Lies, my last Mike Leigh film, made me want to check this out when I saw that it was leaving Amazon Prime this month. This is a completely dreary story of British three working class who interact and drudge through life together. It’s tiring to watch as it seems none of these characters will ever find any joy and are just destined to grind through their days until the end, from one generation to the next. It is well acted, with Timothy Spall as Manville’s cab driving husband giving a particularly wearied performance.
