All hail Poppy. At first glance, she is naive, and possibly one demential, but diving further in reveals a deeply layered character that chooses happiness but fully understands the opposite. Hawkins gives a performance with her whole body that is so rich that it forces a smile onto your face. When the heavy stuff hits, it hits hard. Eddie Marsan's character continues to be extremely relevant and he is explosive against Poppy's smiles. This Mike Leigh at his best.

Top badass moment? I recently read an article on the BBC News website that explained how happy and positive people are an evolutionary dead-end. As further evidence, this movie demonstrates quite clearly that cheerful people are also really, bloody annoying. Why do they insist on forcing their world view on the rest of us, who just want to live our lives like we're on a packed, late-running, dark winter morning commuter train? It's a survival trait. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

I passed by Mike Leigh at the cinemas today and almost thought that I hadn't seen any of his films, but then remembered a quiet autumn day when this popped up on TV when I was in 9th grade, and was happy I saw it.
