Not usually a fan of this sort of thing but pleasantly kept me entertained in a friend's like suspended reality.the leading actor.keeps the film going and also a decent smattering of interesting characters.keeps a persistent level of humour which I enjoyed and I'm quite surprised it's got such a low rating on here .ALthough it's not it a beautiful life or even elf it's still so much better than most of the genre .strange how the soundtrack consisted entirely of George Michael tracks but didn't bother me too much .quite an unusual role for mother Emma Thompson who kept in character Definitely worth aa watch.

Well I wasn't expecting that ,I was so impressed just how brave this film was to make ,the strengths and flaws in both characters made you think from a personnel angle about life and relationships in general .often humourous with both roles being very believable.my admiration for Emma Thompson has always been hi but to see her cast in such a warts and all part was amazing and the script flowed like real life .the actor who played Leo character was also very natural,I haven't seen him in anything else but I'm sure it won't be last time and lastly the incident in the hotel foyer was for me a brilliant and lovely way to round up...well done the old student waitress your expressions were priceless.a great movie play that deserves wide recognition ,simply beautiful.

Loved every moment of this ,I'm so glad you cannot reply to some of the review on here from people with no understanding of our fantastic British industry .There is great beauty and realness in amongst the complications of this tangled web . So glad I caught this and feei honoured to have witnessed it . The film tackles so many important subjects including loss but a message comes through very strongly .The acting was flawless and believable and at times emotionally engaging,I also felt it represented the UK and it's scenery in a fair way in as much it's not all quaint and a lot of people here are struggling financially. Please watch and enjoy .
