thank you, mike leigh, for introducing the world to sally hawkins!

[@RandomDude655]

Sally is such a good actress, she just takes the roll, no matter what, serious or funny, she dominates it. And can't get over how damn beautiful she is.

[@gallimead]

She is a wonderful wonderful person. Sally just seems to be, So humble and down to earth.

[@Ernie1978]

Sally Hawkins, this is where the real magic started being unleashed. Oh God, everything she has done since Happy Go Lucky has been brilliant, please do yourself a favor and watch MAUDIE.

[@dec23]

I've been watching her since 'Fingersmith' and 'Tipping the Velvet', she was great even then.

[@MewWolf5]

I second that recommendation! I love Maudie!

[@eviola11]

I love that all of these Happy-Go-Lucky vids are popping up on YT after Shape of Water. Love Sally Hawkins!

[@MewWolf5]

This video touched on why Poppy is such a great character. I had never thought about the film in regards to how it's about teaching and different kinds of teachers, so it was cool to hear Mr. Leigh talk about that.

[@coolbean4884]

She's Beautiful person inside and out.

[@mabusestestament]

And everything in between.

[@flala2261]

I *Loved* this film when it came out ✨ Just *rewatched* it on Amazon Prime Video

[@nanasarchive9241]

You are my favourite teacher, Mike! I love you. thank you, Mike. And I love Sally

[@CeeEl1122]

mike leigh reminds me of poppy himself in this interview. what a lovely man! :)

[@jacquelinem3551]

Sally is such a fantastic talent! Look forward to watching this film.

[@my88110]

I wake up feeling like Scott, and go to bed feeling like Poppy

[@lc1715]

Happy-Go-Luck makes me laugh so hard. I love the world of the film.

[@ranaeid2390]

I remember watching this film for a college assignment. This film changed my life.

[@jeffreytaddeo6245]

Sally Hawkins should have been nominated for an Oscar for this film. She had won both the LA and NY Film Critics Awards for her performance!

[@maisavilanova291]

Love you Sally! Live your eyes and your voice!

[@selchap9187]

Yeah, well it's not just film it's cinema though, innit. My Irish girlfriend at the time once told me to 'Go on ya own' when I was doing film studies at the City Lit. On my own? Best thing ever - disappearing down any old subterranean cinema in the city; ya know, sitting there apparently on my own in the whole place, sometimes (just a cough from way off over there somewhere...?). I still think about Frank from Meantime quite allot - he's my archetype, if one can have their own.

[@waxestlowa732r6]

Great film!❤️👈🏻

[@SkinnyEMedia]

One gorgeous lass Sally Hawkins is from the interview here.

[@JohnORourke.]

What a movie this is.

[@anthonyholder4490]

🔥🌷🔥Very Very Very BEAUTIFUL WOMAN And GREAT ACTRESS !!!🔥🌹🔥 💓💝💞I’m in LOVE with HER ...💘💖💗

[@crackerscheese33]

I wish Sally Hawkins was Doctor Who instead of the actress we ended up with.

[@amyclarke41]

Hem I think she could a assistant in it

[@mabusestestament]

666, Poppy! 666!

[@amyclarke41]

ok

[@MyNeill]

Didn't like Poppy. She kind of freaked me out with the awkward laughter and snorting whilst in the shop. I think she was rude to the shop keeper. I'm sure he wanted even less to smile after hearing her crap.

[@roybatty8009]

I don’t mind Sally Hawkins or Mike Leigh but this was truly an awful movie... I’ve tried constantly yet always failed to understand it’s praise.

[@flippingo]

Interesting. I think I enjoyed it greatly, without thinking it was one of the greats. Do you know why you were so against it?

[@osamahamdallah140]

@@flippingo Because it was full of cringy over the top propaganda.

[@flippingo]

@@osamahamdallah140 Osama, I am genuinely interested in your response. Criteria such as these are usually negative points for me too. However, could you cite examples so that I can try to understand more in this case?

[@Garbageman28]

[@bobcostas5094]

I love this movie
