It's not the most focused Leigh movie, but plot has never been his strong suit.

Leigh sculpts Another Year in time like Edgar Degas painted a picture.

Mike Leigh is often dumped in the dour, 'kitchen sink' genre of British filmmaking, but that is to overlook his wily sense of humor.

Mike Leigh's films are one of a kind.

Mike Leigh doesn't do thrill rides or happily ever afters, and this character-driven drama marks no new territory for the director. But it may just be his best film yet.

Another marvel of perfectly drawn, fully realized characters created from the ground up and brought to aching and glorious life.

This humane movie is an ode to joy, albeit of the mature sort.

Another Year is an extremely accessible and gripping film with beautifully observed character moments and outstanding performances by a superb cast, especially Leslie Manville who shines as Mary.

Desperation and fulfillment, anxiety and warmth, pain and contentment -- all come together in the darkly splendid Another Year.

It all comes down to affirmation vs. denial. Leigh chooses affirmation. And the result is life-affirming.

See it at your own risk -- but don't miss it.
