British director Mike Leigh's movies tend to be black comedies (You're never more than 30 feet away from a rat in London) or bleak social realism dramas (Vera Drake). This movie is about Poppy, an eternally (and sometimes irritatingly) cheerful elementary school teacher, who thinks she can make everything better. Of course she can't. The British dialect was difficult to follow at times.
My rating: ** (out of 5)
