If you loved Meantime, try Life Is Sweet
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What Life Is Sweet is
British kitchens have always been where emotional plumbing fails most photogenically. A north London family navigates stalled renovations, dead-end jobs, and the quiet chaos of caring too much to quit. The film’s greatest trick? Making boiled potatoes feel like a love language.
