Meantime is my first Leigh movie and it is very good for a tv movie. The movie looks bleak and ordinary just like the family it presents. Tim Roth and Gary Oldman's performance were really good, the story itself was depressing one but it showed the reality of Thatcher's government. It was frustrating for me to watch at times and I wish we got deeper into storyline of some characters but the movie really nailed what it means to have an older brother and how that dynamic works...
