Review: Ewan McDonald
Into the present with three sisters in South London and their husbands, parents, blind dates, neighbours and children during four rainy days in November.
Nadia (Gina McKee) works in a cafe and answers singles ads. Molly (Molly Parker) is pregnant
and living with Eddie (John Simm), who sells small appliances.
Debbie (Shirley Henderson) is a hairdresser with a young son by Dan (Ian Hart).
Eileen, their mother (Kika Markham), is critical of everyone and everything; Bill (Jack Shepherd), their father, is trapped in a loveless marriage.
From director Michael Winterbottom (Jude, Welcome To Sarajevo) and his writer, Laurence Coriat, a masterpiece that captures a city, its people, and the small events and incidents that make up their — and our — lives.
