Just north of London live Wendy, Andy, and their twenty-something twins, Natalie and Nicola. Wendy clerks in a shop, leads aerobics at a primary school, jokes like a vaudevillian, agrees to waitress at a friend's new restaurant and dotes on Andy, a cook who forever puts off home remodeling projects, and with a drunken friend, buys a broken down lunch wagon. Natalie, with short neat hair and a snappy, droll manner, is a plumber; she has a holiday planned in America, but little else. Last is Nicola, odd man out: a snarl, big glasses, cigarette, mussed hair, jittery fingers, bulimic, jobless, and unhappy. How they interact and play out family conflict and love is the film's subject.
Leave your thoughts about Life Is Sweet.
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonLeigh's film celebrates the resiliency of commonplace people, which is all very nice though quite at odds with the portrait of a faltering England. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe director's wife at the time, Alison Steadman, stealing the show as Wendy the nurturing suburban housewife survivor. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatExplores the personal and economic lives of a lower middle-class English family in hard times. |
| User ReviewAng TI could watch this movie all day just to hear the mother laugh ,classic Mike Leigh. |
| User ReviewByron Banother mike leigh winner, all of his heavy hitters; alison steadman, jane horrocks, jim broadbent, timothy spall (you will not recognize him right away!!) and of course, david thewlis makes an appearance as jane horrocks' love interest. every scene has something food related in it, including a poster of meatloaf. on the top of my list. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMike Leigh can do no wrong with me, and this was one of his best. Jane Horrocks has never been better |
| User ReviewNicholas AWith "Naked" stands as the best from Mike Liegh. Almost completely opposite that film in texture, it is probably the most gentle film from the director. Outstanding performances from some of the (now) leading lights of acting from the British Isles. Another reviewer called this "sublime slice of ordinary life" and I can not disagree. |
| User ReviewRhona MSuperb! touching, sad, funny, tragic almost life-like drama of the lives of a family and their friends struggling through the trials of life in 1980's Britain under the Thatcher government. Directed by Mike Leigh |
| User ReviewDanny LFantastic film from the master of everyday life, Beautifully observed ! |
| User ReviewRamona COne of my favorites with one of the best speeches in film. |
