Re: Why, yes!
> Definitely, Career Girls is not Mike Leigh's best movie, but¿ like you said, the acting was incredible, as always in a Mike¿ Leigh movie (i.e. Secrets & Lies, Naked, etc., etc...). It¿ was a good movie, nonetheless. Katrin Cartlidge gives a stand¿ out performance as well as the other main character with the¿ skin condition whose name I forgot (I believe it was her first¿ film role). What is this, Siskel & Ebert? Ah well, the Brits¿ excel in any form of art whether it be film, music, theater, and¿ so on and so on.
Oops, some words didn't make it in my posting, but I see you understood anyway.
Yeah, Katrin (Katlin? something like that) Cartlidge is usually outstanding and was once again here. I saw her in another pretty good movie on video recently, called BEFORE THE RAIN. The timid character with the skin condition was unlike any I've seen in a movie. You certainly won't see a character like that in a Hollywood movie!
But don't be so nationalistic about a friggin' movie OK! = )
