Any Human Heart (2010 Michael Samuels)

Full of great lines like "He's always happier when lunch is on the horizon" (one Pressburger could have written) this is a huge joyous thing, extremely well put together and acted by everybody.

Produced tears of joy and emotion. Fantastic screenwriting. The jumps back to the Logans on the shore just transcend it into something extraordinary.

Fab cast comprises Matthew Macfadyen, Jim Broadbent, Hayley Atwell, Holliday Grainger, Tom Hollander, Gillian Anderson, Ed Stoppard, Samuel West, Emerald Fennell, Flaminia Cinque, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Kim Catrall, Freddie Fox.

Samuels did The Fear in 2012 (Peter Mullan crime boss losing mind) and Black Work, 2015 Sheridan Smith policewoman. Editor Tim Murrell, cameraman Wojchiech Szepel and composer Dan Jones don't really seem to have excelled in anything else.
