All or Nothing : Movie Review


All or Nothing (2002) - Movie Poster
"After his foray into period drama Topsy Turvy, Mike Leigh returns home to bleak, urban, working class Britain."


Set on a South London council estate All Or Nothing focuses on mini-cab driver Phil (Timothy Spall) and supermarket cashier Penny (Lesley Manville), a despondent couple who’ve forgotten how to love each other.

Their two grown-up children, cleaner Rachel (Alison Garland) and unemployed Rory (James Corden) have inherited their lack of lust for life, while their friends and neighbours on the estate are wading through a swamp of despair.
