Plot:
The title's a misnomer, as the lives of a dysfunctional group of lonely South-Londoners bear out. Director Michael Winterbottom doesn't dissect, proselytize or paint a rosy picture of the working-clas...( read more

This begins a little slowly and is ever so depressing. Reminded me of the Beatles song, "Eleanor Rigby" - 'oh look at all the lonely people!' But things picked up and started to mesh about half way through, and by the end I was very happy I hung in there. Working class family and friends in London - all lonely or sad for various reasons, all acting out in that in various ways and are portrayed in little sort of snap-shot vinettes - very up close and personal. The resilancy of the human spirit is a wonder indeed. I struggled with this at first - but in the end I liked it.

A wonder*ful monument to the wonder*land that contains us. Subtle, honest, thoughtful and deeply touching.

Saw this and was not expecting what I got. Someone just said see it so I did. Brilliantly told story with an exceptional sense of style and a great cast.

This is a stunning film and one of the best British films of the last ten years or so. Winterbottom's film revolves around a working class family in London as they try and search for connection in the chaotic metropolis. There is also fantasitc interludes when the camera seems to wander off as it is fascinated by the faces of crowds at events like football matches and firework displays as they look on in wonderment. The large majority of the film is of a fairly downbeat nature, as relationships and families fall apart and life in general just seems to hard to live, but yet it all ends slightly hopefully, without there being much to hope for. The film is emotionally overwhelming as is Michael Nyman's score, which is dreamily tender. Its the kind of film where the first thing you want to do when you leave the cinema is find a random person and give them a hug. One of Winterbottoms best films. Uplifting!

Okay so i admit I watched it because it has Gin McKee in it! But this was a really good film in that it was just life. It is an honest portrayal of real life with the kind of dialogue that replicates the empty conversations that people have from day to day and yet reveals a good deal about the characters in the process. All parts are played well and the soundtrack and the way it is shot is pretty impressive.

MCT:December 17, 2006one of micheal winterbottoms earlier films. a kind of london based magnolia that is sadly underrated and seen by hardly anyone. it tells the sepearate stories of each member of a diysfunctional family over the space of two or three days and how they link together. its a film about real life and real people and provides an honest look at life on just how empty and lonely we are, but also shows the happy times too and that above all life is never straight foward. great music by micheal nyman in which each character has their own piece of music.
