I simply adored this film. Tim Spall, Leslie Manville and Ruth Sheen were so talented playing their parts in a film that was steeped in the daily... drum tasks of work and home, day after day, but their struggles were so pronounced and complex in many ways. Allison Garrland was amazing in her role as daughter of Spall and Manville. Sally H awkins was incredibly luring and the entire case emsamble were terrific. Yes, it was depressing, a look at the working class struggling to get by, day by day, but Mike Leigh was brilliant as director. Full Review

There are moments in All or Nothing of such acute observation that we nod in understanding -- The closing scenes of the movie are just about perfect.Full Review
All the drinking, arguing and brooding, which in lesser hands might have produced oppressive and unvarying dreariness, somehow adds up to a tableau of extraordinary vividness and variety.Full Review
Leigh isn't breaking new ground, but he knows how a daily grind can kill love. Strong stuff.Full Review
Leigh doesn't sentimentalize these tragic, dead-end lives but allows his characters to be ugly and stupid, to make horrendous mistakes. Sometimes they're laughable, and yet there's never the sense that Leigh is mocking them.Full Review
