If you loved Das Leben ist süß, try Meantime
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mike Leigh, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Das Leben ist süß, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Meantime is
In Thatcher’s Britain, an East End family tries and mostly fails to keep up appearances. Unemployed Frank and his sons spin their wheels while Mavis works; smug sister Barbara’s marriage isn’t half as enviable as it looks. Proof that downturns leave everyone stranded.
