2010’s Top 10: Repeat Offenders in Mike Leigh and Jim Broadbent

Date:

4. Mike Leigh and Jim Broadbent

We all know which actress will receive all the acclaim for her part in Another Year, but such as Ruth Sheen’s perf, it would be an error to diminish the value of a supportive role that Jim Broadbent carries in this film. A sensible, caring and loving supportive husband who really has everything going for him and Broadbent makes it look so darn easy and natural that I’d be the first to not acknowledge the part. Since 1990’s Life Is Sweet, Broadbent and Leigh have now worked on four projects including his unforgettable perf in Topsy-Turvy and the judge part in Vera Drake.
