Young person here to say I just watched Secrets & Lies for the first time last night and now I’m here because I was blown away. Of course, he usually blows you away, but wow.
I love what Leigh said about "character actors." They are the heart of all film. In the US we seem too stuck on stars, in GB and elsewhere the character actor is the star and as humans, we can relate to them because we all know someone like them- or even see a bit of ourselves. Bravo Mike Leigh!
Secrets & Lies is a masterpiece - I went to see it when it first came out with my half brother when we had only met for first time in my 20s - I had just introduced him to his mum that week - it was a very moving and helpful film to understand all the dynamics and layers of this highly emotive situation - phenomenal acting and directing
No film has had more of an impact on my life than Secrets & Lies. “We’re all in pain, why cant we share our pain” hit me like a hurricane of bricks.
