life is sweet is a really great film by mike leigh. a while ago i did a review on his film naked which ill probably watch again since i was too daft to understand what was going on.
life is sweet is about a middle class family in north london. the parents are exactly like mine. they laugh at everything and always pull their "i know everything about life and you dont" card. the daughters nicola and natalie are really interesting characters. natalie is a plummer whos a bit of a know it all and is fascinated by america. nicola is an arrogant chain smoker who struggles with bulimia.
there is not much of a plot line like most mike leigh films but every character is so realistic and fascinating. i think the purpose of the film is trying to show how life can be fun and exciting but incredibly hard at times. its up to you to make life worthwhile. (i know that was deep)
8 OUT OF 10
