Plot
Summary: Career girls opens with a train
journey towards London's Kings Cross where Annie,
one of the major characters is about to meet her old
university friend Hannah. She recalls moving into
a grotty student flat with Hannah in the mid-eighties.
In those days Annie was self conscious and jumpy.
The pair have not seen one another since graduation.
They both now have moderately successful careers and
are, at least on the surface, self assured in their
new lives. However, they are still carrying a lot
of emotional baggage from their university days. During
the course of a weekend they rediscover their close
friendship and encounter many faces from the past.
Comments:
Adorable
film. I've seen a lot of Mike Leigh's films and while
I know that Career Girls isn't considered by most
critics his best film, I think it's his most touching
(at least from the ones I have seen). Annie and Hannah
were roomates in college for 4 years, after they graduated
Annie returned to her hometown and now 6 years later
she's visiting her old friend in London for the first
time in those 6 years. Re-uniting with old friends
is something that has happened to all of us and always
brings back the most bittersweet memories. This is
a beautiful film and I recommend it to everyone.
