LIFE IS SWEET (1991)
Certification15 Our Rating
Mike Leigh serves up another delicious slice of frighteningly real British family life. Alison Steadman is outstanding as the suburban mother of teenage twin daughters, one a plumber, the other a heavily depressed and anti-social bulimic. Stark, hilarious, tragic but ultimately uplifting. Brilliant British film making.
