HAPPY-GO-LUCKY (2008)
Written and Directed by: Mike Leigh
Starring: Sally Hawkins, Eddie Marsan
In these days of controversial warfare and economic downturn, who could possibly manage to be happy? This is the question posed over and over again in Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky.

That may sound uninteresting to some, but Leigh approaches it as the central conflict of our time. And I think he just may be right.
