Another Year is a slow paced tale, from director Mike Leigh, of a couple in their late middle age and their circle of friends over the course of a year… For bringing such immaculate personifications on screen, you need a deep understanding of human psychology.

Turner's life. Overall, I'm starting to give up on Mike Leigh, especially after that Happy Go Lucky shit. Gerri is a confident, mature, loving woman who is in a strong relationship, and she is decent and protective of her family and intelligent and sincere.
