Our take
Adapting Blake Morrison’s confessional memoir of the same name, Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie) and novelist David Nicholls delicately depict a difficult relationship between generations in this gnawing, often heartbreaking British drama. Featuring Firth, Broadbent, and a young Carey Mulligan!
