Happy-Go-Lucky
ComedyDramaRomance118 min
Poppy, a colorful North London schoolteacher, moves through her days with a sunny outlook that can charm the people around her or wear them down. Sally Hawkins is Poppy, meeting everyday frustrations and shifting relationships with the same open, talkative energy, while Eddie Marsan and Alexis Zegerman figure among the friends and strangers caught in her orbit. Directed by Mike Leigh, the film follows a few chapters in her life rather than a single big crisis, keeping its focus on the small clashes, connections, and misunderstandings that gather around someone who refuses to meet the world on its own terms.
