This is probably one of the most memorable scenes in film. This was such a great one. It's a must-see. It's dramatic but it has a bit of comical bits as well. Brenda Blethyn is amazingly good.
Secrets & Lies is a 1996 British film directed by Mike Leigh and starring Brenda Blethyn, who won the award for Best Actress at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival. The film won numerous other awards, including the Palme d'Or, and received five Academy Award nominations.
