Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) by Timothy M — 12 Jan 2011

My patience was being tested for a lot of the film, but the last act makes it all worthwhile, and throws everything into perspective. The film's similarities to [i]Naked[/i] are interesting - ostensibly it's the flip side of the coin, but Poppy's involvement in the lives of others seems to have the same detrimental (or perhaps positive? hmm) effect.

Hawkins might be deliberately obnoxious most of the time, but she nails the critical moments. Eddie Marsan is similarly impressive.
