ALL OR NOTHING (2002)

Cast

Plot

Set over one weekend we follow the dramatic turn of events that overtakes taxi driver Phil and his disillusioned family. It is only imminent tragedy that finally brings them together in an act of altruistic love that had begun to seem beyond them. All or Nothing is classic Mike Leigh, a social satire that's as emotionally demanding as it is bittingly funny. nominated for the Palme D'or at Cannes this is an intelligent and perceptive observation, but while Topsy Turvy promised an expansion of Leigh's repertoire this returns to familar ground.
