A melancholic comedy, and a social commentary on Thatcher's Britain for those unsupported. There isn't really a story at any point, the plot just unfolds to develop the main characters. Not particularly funny, other than an embarrassing nostalgia, but heavy in irony, and certainly only suitable for an audience who are fans of dry humour. Acting is superb from the leads, but the film as a whole is rather limited.
