British people's sense of humour doesn't need awards

It is said that relying on the superb performance of the actors to tell the simplest stories wonderfully is the skill of British filmmakers. Another Year is clearly a strong argument for this claim. The shooting method is not fancy at all, but the film is just as lively and interesting. The foundation of the script makes people sigh inwardly. The lines are witty and humorous, concise and lively, and every sentence can give the characters an edge. Actor scheduling is the most successful point. It is no exaggeration to say that every actor who has lines has brought their performances into full play. You clearly know that they are actors, but the characters they create are so natural that you think they are ordinary people, but they are obviously ordinary people, and the characters are very distinctive.
"Another Year" did not win any awards at the end. I can only understand that the judges are too optimistic about his next market. But Leslie Manville didn't win Best Actress, and I feel sorry for her. She was very successful in creating a character. Note, not just acting, but shaping. She endows the characters with their own body, language, expressions, emotions. Artistically, I don't think anyone in this film can match her performance, and her role as Mary is more impressive than any other female character (Yoon Jung Hee came in second, but she didn't jump out of the script, it's the character's own good luck) ); technically, Leslie should at least be tied with Binoche.
Well, then she is at least the actress in my heart this year. "Another Year" is also the best film of the year in my heart!

    Mike Lee knows how to tell the most precious feelings of human beings. Seasons change like this every year, and the back and forth of life is nothing but the enjoyment and worry of basic necessities of life. The combination of a peaceful home and a happy couple creates a sense of well-being that has not been seen in movies for a long time. My favorite talk show, I can't wait to grow old when I see it. Actually, I really wanted to give five stars, but the fade out at the end was a bit sloppy. Neurotic plus boyish Mary, Tom and Jerry.

    Spring is warm, summer is happy, autumn is cool, and winter is cold. Mike Lee has contributed another impeccable masterpiece of director, actor, and script. Lesley Manville's rich expressions and movements perfectly create a silly, neurotic, pitiful, lonely and lonely female image. When another year begins, my heart feels like the past tense. Cannes and Oscar's double jewels are really blind!
