 I used to have a flatmate who not only had the mannerisms/behaved like Poppy, she looked very much like her too!

 Of course Poppy was irritating. Under Lee's direction everybody was portrayed life-like, but a little more so! I can relate to Scott's frustrated obsession with Poppy, and was quite horrified at his racist outburst. The Flamenco-teacher's OTT outburst against her cheating man was spectacular and very funny. Above all I felt for the submissive man in the group who had been pulled by the smart girl and ended up with the height of suburban domestic sophistication but not being allowed to be himself with his old friends: it was so accurate a portrayal of someone we all will have known in real life.

After seeing a few clips from this I was put off watching this due to Sally Hawkins hugely irritating character Poppy. Being a Mike Leigh fan and the fact that huge chunks of it were shot in my old neighbourhood in North London I couldn't avoid watching it forever and so it has come to pass that I gritted my teeth and sat through it. I can report that Poppy is just as annoying as I'd feared and if you combine that with Eddie Marsan playing a simmering racist it's really not an easy watch.

I watched the extras and was amazed to hear that Poppy is a character who you are supposed to fall in love with, her eternal optimism shining through. Perhaps my East coast of Scotland dourness made me immune as I found Poppy excruciating from start to finish. It gets a respectable 7/10 on IMDb so maybe it's just me?!
