Bleak Moments - Mike Leigh's first ever film. Not previously available on DVD I don't think but I caught it on MUBI. The birth of a genius. He has an uncanny ability of making you care about the characters and encouraging you to put yourself in their shoes. A wonderful and tense character study about a woman who is trapped at home with her sister who has a severe learning disability. Leigh's first is also one of his best. 9 out of ten.
