 Rose and Maloney: Interview with Lesley Manville
Lesley Manville enjoyed discovering the humanity behind leading medical expert Professor Diane Marquis in ROSE & MALONEY.
Says Lesley: “My take on it is that she has got a bit overly confident over the years which perhaps led to some lazy choices and lazy decisions, but intrinsically she still knew her stuff.
Adds Lesley: “It was also great to wear her costume.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Topsy-Turvy | Deseret Morning News Web edition
TOPSY-TURVY— ***1/2 — Jim Broadbent, Allan Corduner, Timothy Spall, Lesley Manville, Ron Cook, Wendy Nottingham, Kevin McKidd, Shirley Henderson, Dorothy Atkinson, Martin Savage; featuring the music of Gilbert & Sullivan; rated R (nudity, violence, vulgarity, mild profanity, drug use); Loews Cineplex-Odeon Broadway Centre.
One of the true delights of "Topsy-Turvy" is that, to be enjoyed, it doesn't require either appreciation or knowledge of its subjects, masters of the comic opera William Schwenk Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.
Dragged reluctantly by his wife (Lesley Manville) to a Japanese exhibition, he is inspired to write "The Mikado." And even more astonishingly, he somehow convinces Sullivan of the worthiness of the concept.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "All or Nothing"
The action of "All or Nothing" is set in and around a block of London council flats, a scrubby, ugly place where the residents are trying to find some measure of comfort and grace amid the grind of their lives.
The focus of the movie is Phil (Timothy Spall), a minicab driver eking out a miserable living ferrying people around London, and his partner, Penny (Lesley Manville), a supermarket cashier whose mousy demeanor hides the gnawing worry of someone living with the perpetual worry of disaster.
If you've seen Manville as the horrendous yuppie snob of Leigh's "High Hopes" or as the foolish, lovestruck wife of diplomat Kenneth Branagh in Clare Peploe's comedy "High Season," she's almost unrecognizable here.

 All Or Nothing [2002] - Ugc Films, vhs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Spall's cabbie is too gentle and thoughtful to be described as a slob, but his lack of even the most basic ambition and stoic non-resistance to life has created an unspoken rift between him and wife Penny (Lesley Manville).
The smart and rather posh Lesley Manville strikes quite a contrast in real life with her mousey, put-upon character.
Instead, this is a brilliant and moving character study, with absolutely first class acting throughout, especially from the two lead characters played by Timothy Spall and Lesley Manville.

Lesley Manville and Timothy Spall star in Mike Leigh's drama about a family struggling to get by in a London project.
Chief among this sag-shouldered crew is Phil (the great Timothy Spall), a car-service driver who seems to get mostly drunks and deadbeats in his cab.
His melancholy daughter (Alison Garland) pushes a mop at an old-age home, and his pugnacious, defensive son (James Corden) stuffs his face and lies inert on the couch rather than look for a job.

 MovieMaker Magazine | HOP Volume 2, Issue #10 | Directing: Mike Leigh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This story about a working-class couple raising their two teenaged children in a depressed London housing estate is stark, honest and unflinching, but for all its blunt realism, All Or Nothing is ultimately a film about love, hope and redemption.
Starring Timothy Spall and Lesley Manville as a couple refusing to face the poverty of their troubled relationship, the picture features the sort of rich performances that fans have come to expect from a Mike Leigh project.
On a recent visit to Los Angeles to promote the new film, Mike Leigh sat down with MM to chat about his unique approach to moviemaking and how it all came together on All Or Nothing.

The central story revolves around Phil (Timothy Spall), a London taxi driver who is beginning to realize that his wife, Penny (Lesley Manville), may not be in love with him anymore.
The movie may be overly-bleak and extremely depressing in a number of ways, but for some reason, the characters are very compelling and realistic.
The performances are all-around stellar, the stand-out being that of Lesley Manville, who imbues her character with a subtle warmth and sensitivity that is spellbinding.

Jim Broadbent, Allan Corduner, Timothy Spall, Lesley Manville, Shirley Henderson, Katrin Cartlidge, Dexter Fletcher, Sukie Smith, Roger Heathcott, Wendy Nottingham, Stefan Bednarczyk, Francis Lee, William Neenan, Adam Searle, Martin Savage
Both Jim Broadbent (as the negative-minded William Schwenk Gilbert) and Allan Corduner (as the "genius," Arthur Sullivan) deliver impassioned, entirely believable performances, as do the supporting players--particularly Kevin McKidd, Lesley Manville, and Leigh regular Timothy Spall.
Notably different from the director's previous brutally realistic, modern day examinations (such as NAKED and SECRETS AND LIES), Leigh's film bears genuine affection for the work of Gilbert and Sullivan, which shines through in every frame.
