Another Year

I saw this film on 15 November at Stratford Picture House

This beautiful film is about real people with real mundane lives. No one is perfect although Gerri and Tom start out shown as close to it as real human beings are likely to come. Both are good but also realistically flawed. The film shows various sad people, Tom’s brother with his appalling but only too realistic son and his empty life. Mary the sad, needy and vulnerable woman befriended by Gerri. Ken the equally sad and vulnerable man. Nothing spectacular happens but in real life it usually doesn’t.
