- AnecdotesDavid Thewlis was disappointed at being given such a small role, so Mike Leigh promised him that the next time he considered Thewlis for a role in a film, "he'd be given a fair slice of the pie." Thewlis would be cast as the lead in Leigh's next film Naked (1993), and win an award for his performance.

[Natalie and Nicola ponder having children]
Natalie: Well, I wouldn't fancy bringing one up on me own.
Nicola: It's better to be on your own than be with a bastard.
Natalie: Well, presumably you wouldn't *choose* a bastard in the first place if you had any sense!
Nicola: All men are bastards!
Natalie: *What*?
Nicola: They're all potential rapists!
Natalie: That's a bit sweeping!
Nicola: All men have got the ability to rape.
Natalie: Well they don't all do it, do they!
Nicola: But they've got the ability; they've got the desire.
Natalie: That's paranoid rubbish!
Nicola: What d'you know about paranoia?
Natalie: Well, not half as much as you do, I'll give you that.

By Rachel Portman and Julian Wastall
boring people (like me) posting reviews online and make it and
them interesting. I don't think I'm being overly sentimental when I
say that, sometimes we need films that show us that, on the
whole, people are good and trying to do the best they can in a
difficult world. I don't see many directors who are willing to show
us flawed characters who fight through difficulties with heart and
humor and work things out without the aid of some ridiculous
device. Leigh is brave enough, creative enough and has enough
respect for his audience to show us, in Life is Sweet, that
sometimes caring and patience with those we love is our only
chance and what we are generally stuck with anyway.
