"Chronique de la vie de trois couples et d'une vieille dame à Londres dans les années Thatcher... Ceux qui profitent de la crise et ceux qui en sont victimes... Réaliste et cruel sans oublier la pointe d'humour..."
"A slice of life look at a sweet working-class couple in London, Shirley and Cyril, his mother, who's ageing quickly and becoming forgetful, mum's ghastly upper-middle-class neighbours, and Cyril's pretentious sister and philandering husband."

"Cyril and Shirley are a young, working-class couple who, in their struggle to make ends meet, have become absorbed in socialism. Cyril's sister Valerie and her husband aspire to a more privileged class. The only glue holding the siblings together is their withdrawn and wistful old mother."@en

"A satirical and compassionate depiction of two aging young Marxists, Cyril and Shirley, stretcher cases of the new Britain. Run over by Thatcherism, the couple is broken in wind and limb and now dispenses brain-dead radicalism from minds trapped in the 1960's. When not making pilgrimages to Karl Marx's tomb in Highgate the couple bickers over whether to have a baby, takes in lost strangers who stumble into their two-room hovel or cope with Cyril's mum and semi-demented sister Valerie."

"Set around King's Cross in the early weeks of 1988. Wayne leaves home because of an argument about pies. Cyril wants to machine-gun the Royal Family. Rupert and Laetitia Boothe-Brain play yuppie sex games. Valerie fails to arouse her husband Martin with a suggestion that he be Michael Douglas and she a virgin. Old Mrs Bender gets locked out of her house."

"Mike Leigh's class struggle comedy of manners concentrates on the intertwined lives of Cyril, a left-wing bike messenger, his girlfriend, Cyril's mother, who lives in the last council house in her street, her appalling yuppie neighbours, Cyril's desperately consumerist sister and her wide-boy husband."@en
