Happy-go-lucky (2008)

Happy-Go-Lucky is Mike Leigh's freewheeling character study following an irrepressibly cheerful London schoolteacher navigating everyday chaos with relentless optimism. Sally Hawkins carries the film with a loose, lived-in performance that earned her serious critical attention. The archive holds 1 scene from the film, a glimpse of Hawkins baring skin amid the otherwise chatty, comic tone of the story. It's a small but notable entry for fans tracking her work beyond the more polished roles that came later.
