All or Nothing

Leigh är paradoxalt nog en filmisk motsvarighet till de holländska guldåldersmålarna; med stor ömhet skildrar han vanlighet och vardag.

...avger värme och hopp...

Boasting solid performances from all the leads, especially from Sheen and Garland, All Or Nothing is a dark and intelligent insight into the alienated and dislocated lives of the British working class.

Under his masterly direction, Leigh's actors give ebullient and well-considered performances and this, together with Andrew Dickson's yearning musical score, creates a richly satisfying picture.

There are moments in All or Nothing of such acute observation that we nod in understanding.
