About
You can stream Life Is Sweet (1991) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.
Just north of London live Wendy, Andy, and their twenty-something twins, Natalie and Nicola. Wendy clerks in a shop, Andy is a cook who forever puts off home remodeling projects, Natalie is a plumber and Nicola is jobless. This film is about how they interact and play out family, conflict and love.
Chaos erupts in this messy, eccentric portrait of a family that finds joy in the middle of constant bickering and domestic failure. Instead of polished drama, you get a jagged, heartfelt look at people who are deeply flawed yet undeniably vibrant.
