this movie have only just come out on dvd in britain and that be a shamefully long time for a film to reach the country it be make in . but now it be here and and possibly find a new audience and i think i would write a quick review . if you have read some of the other review and you will no doubt be aware of the kitchen sink factor in this film . well and i be not go to deny that and the subject matter would not look out of place in a soap opera . . . . however it be the performance and the script and the fantastic style of this movie which pull it out of the mundane and into the cinematic . michael winterbottom be clearly a director who like several of his british contemporary such a mike leigh and shane meadow and believe that the drama around u in everyday life be worthy of the big screen . the film have a fine ensemble of character and three very different sister and their estrange brother and squabble parent . the performance be brave and heartfelt in all case and and even though the drama take place over one weekend and the character really do evolve . the most enticing thing about the film be the way it be shot and score . sean bobbitt time lapse photography and dogma style 16mm cinematography combine with michael nyman emotive music be a really fantastic combination . this film show london how the people who live there see it and namely from the ground . nearly every film set in london now seem to have to include the gherkin and the tate modern and the millennium wheel and what winterbottom present u with be something simultaneously far less and far more remarkable .
