all or nothing be a slice of wretched life flick about a miserable dysfunctional work class london family . there little arc to the story of walrus phil bassett and family who move sloth like from day to day unhappy and unfulfilled . undoubtedly an excellent film by film making standard and mike leigh put the audience in the position of have to accept his character plaintive existence on faith by not show the psychodynamics which perpetuate their misery and just give u the result . in other word and we see sad people stew in their own juice which make the buy in difficult and the protagonist more ignoble . personally i be happy to see the foul mouth fat kid keel over from heart attack though i do not think that be how leigh intend the audience to react and i suspect many a weep wallower be wring tear from their hanky . give a 2 hour run and misery throughout and and character we couldn not care less about without charity and most will find all or nothing more nothing than all .
