Is Eddie Marsan the finest male cinema actor working in Britain today?  On the basis of Happy Go Lucky I’d say yes.

I was so impressed with him, and this film, that I actually called into an NPR show, (NPR!), that Mike Leigh was on in order to ask him a question, (I called under a false name of course…cause, really, it’s a bit fan boy innit?).

Go see Happy Go Lucky.  Really.

    He gets my vote too, I just can't get his performance out of my head. I've seen it twice and I have to laugh out loud whenever I think about En Ra Ha. And so touchingly sad when he is rejected. And how about the flamenco dance teacher? Fab.
  • - yeah he's pretty good - can't tell you how much he brightened up my day when I was watching Hancock! :
  • My wife and I went as saw this movie and were extremely impressed. What a great film.
