mike leigh and in my opinion and be the great director ever . he need no animation and cgi and big name star or million dollar budget to produce film of pure and simple genius . all or nothing be no exception and be prove that a he age his film have get well and good . all or nothing reminds me of life on a council estate a i remember it when i be a kid . there use to be flats on our estate that and although not the same in appearance and where practically the same in their inhabitant represent the drunk family and the quiet family ( phil and penny family ) and the druggie family and the slightly odd kid and the angry violent boyfriend and the single mum with foul mouth daughter . they be all there . anyone who know life on an estate like this would wonder how mike leigh can put together such an accurate snapshot into the life of these family . mike film be totally captivate . to some and it might appear like nothing really happen in them and but what i see in them be a reality that be like nothing else on film . sometimes theyre funny and sometimes so almost unwatchably painful but never and ever dull or predictable . once youre a mike leigh fan youre take to a different level . i just can not take american movie seriously anymore .
