The great English director Mike Leigh is 83 years old now, and has suggested that this film may be his last. If so, it’s a gorgeous goodbye, swerving from the ferocious anger of 2024’s “Hard Truths” to something warmer and wiser. Go to Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Sight & Sound Oct 6, 2026
While it is melancholy, it is also joyfully funny and the chill wind of human frailty that runs through it only outlines how enjoyable it is to be here now, with your favourite people. Go to Full Review Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express Oct 6, 2026
