Reviews

• What it does have is an overwhelming bittersweet melancholy at the passing of life from middle age into?well, you could call it late middle age.

• Leigh's Another Year is like a long, purifying soak in empathy.

• Just watch the magnificent Manville, in a raw and riveting award-class performance that exposes a grieving heart under siege. Her last scene is quietly devastating. So is this intimate miracle of a movie.

• Love and loneliness are presented, in almost equal parts, with subdued precision in the richly abundant Another Year.

• Like "Life Is Sweet," "Secrets & Lies," and yes, 1971's "Bleak Moments," to name but three of Leigh's 10 semi-improvised character studies, Another Year is another frowning comedy.
