| Brief Description: | Mike Leigh's (Secrets and Lies) intelligent, poignant comedy about the
reunion of two very different 30-ish women who were battling college
roomates in London six years ago. Over the course of their brief
reunion, Hannah and Annie (Katrin Cartlidge, Naked and Breaking the
Waves, and Lynda Steadman, in stand-out performances) reveal the
present while they talk about the past, in jittery flashbacks that
match their emotions. As we watch these two progress from black
leather to discreet beige, we also watch the growth that has carried
them beyond the shared, angry turmoil of their college years. |
