Mike Leigh returns with a fierce, compassionate and darkly funny character study.

Angry, depressed and wracked by fear, Pansy (BAFTA-winner Jean-Baptiste) lashes out at family and strangers alike. She simply cannot help herself. Her constant criticism isolates her from others save her warm, easy-going sister Chantal who remains sympathetic despite their clashing temperaments. Inverting the optimism of Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky, this rich and expansive film from a master dramatist explores family, sisterhood and the enduring mysteries of character.

The screening on Saturday is sponsored by Simon Payton
