Press
Lesley Manville continues to charm gently as the mother in question, facing an awkward reunion with Michael after a summer apart. As the rest of the family buzz around being gloriously annoying (particularly the tact-free wonder that is Kelly, played by Lisa McGrillis) you can't help but wish that they could get some time alone.
