netflix it: Another Year
Ebert recommended this (I cannot keep up with that guy’s Facebook activity!) and we watched it last week. It’s set in England, over four seasons, following a lovely couple and their hang-on hang-about friends. It’s really good, funny, and fascinating to watch because the story is the characters. There really isn’t a story besides the people, who are totally developed and consistent to the point that you just shake your head at them, like a predictable relative. Great writing.
I’m not linking to the website because: just skip watching the preview. They’re full of spoilers these days.

This was a great film. I’d also suggest Barney’s Version if you haven’t seen it already.
