4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his really is Sally Hawkins' show. Her performance is every bit as bold as that of David Thewlis in NAKED.....This journey into optimism is a very welcome diversion."Uncut "Hawkins' virtuoso performance captures Poppy's comic qualities....Upbeat and accessible..."Sight and Sound 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[Leigh] keeps the emotions in balance by keeping them real....HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is more than movie, it's a gift."Rolling Stone "[HAPPY-GO-LUCKY] is a decidedly clear-eyed exploration of the challenged of being happy. And, as such, it's both an enjoyable comedy and a fascinating character study."USA Today "Played by Sally Hawkins in a performance that one the Silver Bear for best actress at the Berlin Film Festival, Poppy practically defines irrepressible."Los Angeles Times "In HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, Sally Hawkins offers an Oscar-worthy performance as Poppy, the funny, kind-hearted, and mischievous protagonist."Premiere "Hawkins imbues Poppy with an innate effervescence that plays off beautifully against adversity." -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly 4 stars out of 5 -- "HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is a genuine feelgood film. There's a good chance that you'll wish you could face all life's tribulations Poppy-style."Empire "Hawkins has a ball with the extroverted, clownish aspects of her character, and she's no less compelling in the delicate, pensive scenes where she tries to regain her equilibrium."Film Comment "[T]he film is so closely tuned to the pulse of communal life, to the rhythms of how people work, play and struggle together, it captures the larger picture along with the smaller....[An] expansive, moving film..."New York Times "Mike Leigh's uncanny ability to find drama in ordinary lives is used with genius....Strangely inspiring."Chicago Sun-Times Included in Entertainment Weekly's 2008 Films Of The Year -- "The marvel of HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is that Hawkins and director Mike Leigh end up winning over even the gloomiest Guses..."Entertainment Weekly "Sally Hawkins gives an astonishing performance in Mike Leigh's one-of-a-kind comedy..."Wall Street Journal25.84632

"BEDAZZLED remains fresh and funny, with some sharply observed set pieces." Sight and Sound "It's Pete 'n' Dud's most perfectly realised project....BEDAZZLED is Bron's movie as much as Cook and Moore's. Nobody does gauche and gormless better." Uncut "Cook's amusing script and Moore's lively score distinguish the [film]..."Film Comment "Balancing zany high jinks and deadpan genius, this BEDAZZLED bests its 2000 remake..." -- Grade: B+Entertainment Weekly "Mr. Cook, who wrote the screenplay, endlessly spouts quotable lines with a dry, absurdist quality that clearly left an impression on the up-and-coming humorists who later became the Monty Python troupe."New York Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "Faust blends with burgers in the twisted morality tale....[This is the superior original..."USA Today16.48846

Rolling Stone (7/13-7/27/95, pp.109-110) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a singer/songwriter album recorded live in the studio, and...seems powered by the painful self-consciousness of a person whose exterior bid for success rubs against his interior battle to meet his own moral standards....Weller's work supplies the connecting link between several generations of British rock and soul."Entertainment Weekly (7/21/95, p.64) - "...rocks harder than its predecessor, while retaining its solid songwriting and surefooted '70s-style funk." - Rating: A-Q (2/96, p.63) - Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995 - "...blending its obvious but welcome retro influences with the hard-won maturity of a songwriter in his prime..."Uncut (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[I]t's the warmth of STANLEY ROAD itself which ultimately merits this lavish repackaging and ensures it a high-ranking place in the Weller canon."Mojo (Publisher) (p.55) - Ranked #86 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "More affecting than anything he's ever done.
