An unassuming gem: an impishly funny, melancholy, absolutely delightful English ensemble drama.

Virtually nothing at all is wrapped up in The Lawless Heart, which is probably why it feels so satisfyingly whole by the end.

It's an intriguing experience.

For these gifted directors and their fine ensemble, the notion that every life forms into a mosaic of intimate, largely unobserved details is the story most worth telling.

Perfectly modulated in its tone and performances, Lawless Heart is content to be a small, quiet film. We could use a few more like it.

Gimmickry is death to this sort of artsy endeavour -- it turns a movie with a small budget into a small movie.

About as funny as a funeral.
