“Mike Leigh’s mood piece Meantime was a brilliantly effective way to transition from TV drama to feature film during the “dark ages” of Thatcher’s Britain. Satisfyingly, its potency remains just as relevant today.”
Tim Roth stars as Colin, a socially awkward young man living with his parents and manipulative older brother, Mark (Phil Daniels) in a council flat in London's East End. Rivals for Colin's attention come from local skinhead, Coxy (Gary Oldman) and his middle-class aunt, Barbara (Marion Bailey). In characteristic form, Mike Leigh takes on Thatcher's Britain with heart and wit.
NB: We do not condone the above trailer. Approach with extreme caution. (But do approach. If only for a good ol' draw-droppin' laff.)
