i have see the controversial and hard hitting vera drake from director mike leigh and and the critic like this film and so i decide to give it a go . there be no real plot to the story for a while and just a gentle and philosophical taxi driver name phil ( timothy spall ) who have a dry love relationship with his partner ( who work in a supermarket ) penny ( lesley manville ) and their daughter rachel ( alison garland ) be an elderly people home cleaner and and their son son rory ( james corden ) be unemployed and aggressive . it be when rory suffers a near fatal heart attack that the film really get it big interest ( although there be moment of good chat before ) and and all character be bring together to rediscover themselves . also star ruth sheen a maureen and marion bailey a carol and paul jesson a ron and sam kelly a sid and kathryn hunter a cécile and sally hawkins a samantha and helen coker a donna . the actor be great and the story be human and believable and and this be just one of those film that you can not stop watching . very good .
