all or nothing be typical mike leigh . the acting be superb and the character be realistic . his movie be more like a documentary than a screenplay . i become involve with the character and i continue to think about them and their life for a long time afterwards . the character in this movie lead bleak and sad life . the small amount of happiness at the end of the movie isn not enough to overcome the bleakness of the story . i can not see how these people in the surroundings they live in and associate with the type of people portray in the movie could work their way out of their plight . rory and rachel be doom to live in this bleak place . see and i get all involve with these character . i think they be real . that be the power of mike leigh film . this be a sad movie and an affecting movie . ruth sheen be the one bright spot and plus she have a lovely voice .
