FILM.



TOPSY-TURVY

1999 | DIRECTED BY MIKE LEIGH
Like Get Back (2021) but longer.

There’s a sweet scene where the cast stands up for Temple after the aging star’s solo is cut. They manage to get it restored by the otherwise unbudging Gilbert who is touched by the thespian solidarity.

There are also plenty of funny moments sprinkled in. Although I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

It’s ultimately one of those impressive-but-uninteresting movies. Unless you’re into peeking behind the curtain for nearly three hours at a nineteenth century English theatre company.

In which case boy does Mike Leigh have the movie for you.
