ASA 🎥📽🎬 Life is Sweet (1990): Directed by Mike Leigh. With Alison Steadman, Jim Broadbent, Claire Skinner, Jane Horrocks

Life is Sweet (1990) Synopsis Just north of London live Wendy, Andy, and their twenty-something twins, Natalie and Nicola. Wendy clerks in a shop, leads aerobics at a primary school, jokes like a vaudevillian, agrees to waitress at a friend's new restaurant and dotes on Andy, a cook who forever puts off home remodeling projects, and with a drunken friend, buys a broken down lunch wagon. Natalie, with short neat hair and a snappy, droll manner, is a plumber; she has a holiday planned in America, but little else. Last is Nicola, odd man out: a snarl, big glasses, cigarette, mussed hair, jittery fingers, bulimic, jobless, and unhappy. Awards 1991: Los Angeles Film Critics Association: Nominated for Best Supp. Actress (Horrocks) 1991: Independent Spirit Awards: Nominated to Best Foreign Film
