Movie #19 - Another year

In February, I saw the movie Another Year. It's a movie by Mike Leigh and it portrays the life of a happily married couple (Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen) and their relationships with their family and friends during four seasons. I've enjoyed two things about the movie. First, the performances were brilliant even though they are mostly constrained performances. An exception is Lesley Manville who plays a person who seems to be always happy but who is very depressed and a alcoholic. What a great performance. The other reason that I enjoyed the movie so much was the tranquility I got from it. Simply a good feeling that makes me smile just by remembering this movie.
