Review of Secrets & Lies

I watched this years ago - I thought I'd reviewed it, but can't find one - because I really love Mike Leigh's work, Brenda Blethyn's work etc etc. I knew I'd enjoyed it, so prepared to sit back and do so again, but my mistake, you don't sit back with a Mike Leigh film, you sit up and take notice. The threads weave themselves relentlessly drawing you in, until you really can't bear the pain that the characters are enduring and you are committed.

Wonderful film, wonderful acting and well worth the revisit.
