HIGH HOPES (1988) - MARCH 9, 2004
A dreary, slow-moving movie by Mike Leigh. Filled with unpleasant characters, most of whom aren't worth caring about in the slightest (though that is the point, I suspect). Also features the most annoying character in the history of cinema. The film is totally plotless, and it works for a while, but then it starts to wear out its welcome in a big way. Having at least one likable character would have been nice. **
