Mike Leigh

Happy-Go-Lucky
Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, the seemingly simple story of an optimistic London elementary teacher is deceptively unassuming, told in a piecemeal, episodic structure. By the film's gentle, perfect end, she had been seduced.
Vera Drake
Mike Leigh fully creates the universe of a wife, mother and abortionist in 1950s London, and Imelda Staunton's award-winning performance in the title role is riveting.
