Another Year

It is beautifully played, free of the usual tics and twitches and palsies that so often afflict Leigh characters, and Manville, in particular, gives everything she has, which turns out to be an awesome amount.

There is something radical in the way Leigh creates such an intimate, closely observed portrait of a marriage and then essentially takes it for granted, looking elsewhere for the drama to propel the narrative.

See it at your own risk -- but don't miss it.

This humane movie is an ode to joy, albeit of the mature sort.

Desperation and fulfillment, anxiety and warmth, pain and contentment -- all come together in the darkly splendid Another Year.

“Another Year” is a classic example of what you get when you create good characters and then just let great actors act.

Another Year is a life-affirming portrait of a harmonious marriage and the emotional salve it offers in a cruel world.
