Why you can trust GamesRadar+
One-man UK film industry Michael Winterbottom continues his genre hopping with this gentle kitchen-sink experiment.
Shot over five years, it stars Shirley Henderson and John Simm as a couple separated by his prison sentence, and features a real family of four as their kids, who grow and change over time as the adults stay, tragically, the same.
The result is a slice of raggedy realism with ultra-naturalistic performances.
Although detractors might wish for something more profound, capturing the poignant pointlessness of life passing by feels like a noble pursuit in itself.
