Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars "Life is sweet" is a poignant portrait of family life.   February 12, 2001
 20 out of 20 found this review helpful

Watch out for an early appearence by Jane Horrocks as anorexic/agoraphobic Natalie in a family as dysfunctional as any you've ever known. Mike Leigh directs this brilliant sprawling drama with understated aplomb,following four people united by a surname and divided by their differing personalities in a hot London summer. Meet their friends and lovers, take a peek at their jobs and get a taste of working class life. The only change is that instead of staid TV stereotypes you will see people as they really are --- funnier and sadder --- and that perhaps is what we can learn from the film. There is no story as such .... just a chaotic effort by Alison Steadman and Jim Broadbent to survive one week to the next and understand their twin daughters as they surface into the adult world. Everything is here; angst, poverty, mental illness and Timothy Spall as Aubrey, New Britains most unsuccesful entrepreneur who opens a restaurant, with no regrets except that no one turns up on it"s opening night! It's hankie time though when Mother and unhappy daughter finally face a few home truths.... You'll laugh, cry and think about the issues cleverly raised by this picture.
