Review of Career Girls

Career Girls (1997)
9/10
Not Leigh's most dramatic, but very good
11 June 2018
I re-saw this film last night, and enjoyed it as never before. It's simple premise of two women who, having shared a (partly thanks to them) squalid flat while attending "uni" and reuniting six years later in London for a weekend showed life as lived by many. The dialogue worked, and even their coincidental meetings with Anna's former brief love (who doesn't remember her) and the sad young Welshman (Mark Benton), suffering from Tourrette's and who briefly lived with them, is not fanciful: even London's a small world. When the two part at the train station, one feels their friendship will continue: they can relate to and confide in each other as they can't with anyone else.
