Meantime Ratings & Reviews
Crooked Marquee
Sean Burns
Nearly everything in the film is curdled and ugly. It's one of the most vivid depictions of how people without purpose turn on each other.
InSession Film
Brian Susbielles
It's a slice-of-life of struggle in the family with commonplace events that fall in between.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Playing a skinhead doesn't require much subtlety, but Gary Oldman nevertheless manages to go well over the top.
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
Meantime may very well be the template for many of Leigh's most beloved, subsequent works.
Audiences Everywhere
Nathanael Hood
A crucial glimpse into the societal ennui felt by Britain's working class during the 1980s.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A powerful but bleak TV movie kitchen-sink drama.
New York Times
Walter Goodman
The first hour is given to aimless glimpses of aimless existences, and the second, in which Colin finds a sort of deliverance, is contrived in concept and awkward in execution.
