224 - Distant Voices, Still Lives - 2 stars
Admired enough to make it onto the list, but this film is just not my kind of thing to be honest.
An autobiographical look at a family still haunted by their memories of their domineering and abusive father who has passed away. If it were a book it would end up in the misery memoirs section of Waterstones.
It had the feel of a Mike Leigh meets Coronation Street/Eastenders vibe with people drowning their sorrows with drinks down the local boozer while singing songs.
It did however feature a terrifying performance from Pete Postletwhaite.
