Time Out
These characters are more than what we see on the surface, and it's thanks to Leigh's rigorous yet generous eye that we never just gawk at the drama. - 100
Empire
Measured in pace, yet thoroughly gripping and completely accessible. The title soft-sells the picture, but it's among the best of this or any year. And Manville should clear some shelf space for well-deserved awards. - 91
The A.V. Club
The performances are winning, the story is surprising without relying on unlikely twists, and the relationships are the richest and most nuanced since Leigh's "Secrets & Lies." - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
Mike Leigh has a knack of making the ordinary extraordinary. Here he deals with themes of class, family and depression over a period of a year, breaking it up into seasonal chapters. - 80
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Another year, another Mike Leigh gem. - 80
Los Angeles Times
It may sound commonplace, but in the hands of master filmmaker Mike Leigh, the everyday becomes extraordinary. - 80
New York Daily News
The perfect haven from the cheap ironies and cruel indifference we all have to field both in life and, far too often, at the movies. - 75
NPR
Another Year is a stacked deck of a movie that draws a harshly unforgiving, sometimes smug line between boomers who've made good and those who've fallen by the wayside.
