Review of Topsy-Turvy (1999) by Timothy M — 16 Jan 2011
An impressive and engrossing achievement. Took me back to seeing [i]The Mikado[/i] on stage as a young 'un. Admirable that Leigh can approach a semi-biopic, semi-stage adapation, and maintain the same character-driven style of his other films.
The entire ensemble is very good, with Broadbent, Corduner, and Spall being the best in show. And as usual, Leigh saves his very best for the last scenes. Which is as it should be.
