Blu-ray Review: Mike Leigh Notches Another Criterion with ‘Life is Sweet’
Submitted by BrianTT on June 12, 2013 - 8:48pmCHICAGO – There have been several stellar editions of Mike Leigh films released under The Criterion Collection banner, including “Topsy-Turvy” and “Naked.” The latest is one of our best working directors more underappreciated films, “Life is Sweet,” a clever little slice-of-humanity that doesn’t have the drama of “Vera Drake” or “Secrets & Lies” and so has always been a bit under the radar when discussing Leigh’s work. I’m truly happy the Criterion Collection has ventured to change that oversight.
