Mike Leigh's latest is out on DVD - Happy-Go-Lucky. I watched it last night and totally got into it. Like all Leigh's flicks, it takes my ear about 10 minutes to tune in to the heavy accents, but I can live with that. The lead, Poppy, played by Sally Hawkins has now joined my list of favorite movie characters. What a terrific performance by Hawkins. And big kudos to Eddie Marsan, who plays the driving instructor. Also, the scene where the flamenco instructor melts down is hysterical. This may not be your cup of tea, but pour me another cup.

Loved it, in the typically unsuspecting British way of a movie that I wonder what is this then just go and enjoy.
