Slightly dull typical British taste, this is what I want

To be honest, I was really sleepy at the end, until the moment the subtitles came up, I still couldn't believe it, that's it? Many of the dialogues are impossible to fully understand without a strong English listening level and a deep understanding of British culture. Anyway, when watching a movie, the British people in the cinema often laugh, but I don’t know what they are laughing at. . . It seems that the gap between understanding the plot and really understanding a movie is still very far. The most worth mentioning is that every actor in this film is quite powerful, and the perfect performance is peaceful and natural, as well as those scenes and costumes, which are really exactly the same as ordinary British families, and they express the British people's relationship with people and humanity. Although the plot is not as exciting as a commercial film, it is indeed of great quality.
