Additional InformationBritish filmmaker Mike Leigh delivers another emotionally honest portrait of ordinary people trying to make sense of their lives in this comedy drama. Tom (Jim Broadbent) and Gerri (Ruth Sheen) are a couple who are drifting past middle age into their sixties; he's a geologist and she's a psychotherapist. Tom and Gerri have a stable and happy marriage and a grown son, Joe (Oliver Maltman), an activist lawyer who hasn't settled down yet, much to his mother's chagrin. One of Gerri's co-workers and close friends is Mary (Lesley Manville), who puts up a facade of desperate good cheer despite the fact she's been very lonely since her husband left her and has been drowning her anxieties in wine. Gerri has unsuccessfully tried to fix Mary up with Tom's sloppy but good natured pal Ken (Peter Wight), and she's startled when Mary begins openly flirting with Joe, more than 20 years her junior. Mary's troubles only grow worse when she stops by Tom and Gerri's place only to be introduced to Katie (Karina Fernandez), Joe's new girlfriend.

  • Another viewing for Another Year and Another 10 out of 10!

    I'd seen this when it came out and loved it at the time. Was hoping it'd live up to the memory and it did! My husband and 16yr old son both enjoyed it too. Lesley Manville, Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen - superb casting!

  • It is what is.

    It is a typical Mike Leigh Film, portraying life Warts and All. The characters can be identified possibly, like people you may know. It is both a sad and funny film, however a word of warning, if you are not depressed before watching, you might be after watching it.
