	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Leigh creates a universe we can all find a place in. All the actors are sublime. But Manville shines brightest (...) So is this intimate miracle of a movie (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Not quite every year brings a new Mike Leigh film, but the years that do are blessed with his sympathy, penetrating observation, and instinct for human comedy (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"The perfect haven from the cheap ironies and cruel indifference we all have to field both in life and, far too often, at the movies (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Leslie Felperin Variety	"Mike Leigh's latest... is almost about nothing at all, and yet it gently juxtaposes the big issues of everyday life: loneliness and love, selfishness and kindness, birth and death"
		Kim Newman Empire	"Measured in pace, yet thoroughly gripping and completely accessible. The title soft-sells the picture, but it’s among the best of this or any year. And Manville should clear some shelf space for well-deserved awards. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"
