Two social workers navigate the messy, overlapping demands of their professional caseloads and their own personal lives, their daily encounters with vulnerability and crisis mirrored by struggles closer to home. Continuing veteran director Mike Leigh's lifelong fascination with working-class characters and the quiet dignity of ordinary compassion, the film offers a charming, insightful meditation on family, friendship and the invisible labour of care, in what many are speculating could prove the final chapter of Leigh's extraordinary filmmaking career. A charming, perfectly judged meditation on compassion and connection that would stand as a fitting tribute to Leigh's career-long fascination with working-class dignity, should it prove his last.
