Mike Leigh's "Meanwhile" depicts the economic decline of Britain during the Thatcher era, marking the pinnacle of this writer and director's groundbreaking work in television. He uses tense interactions to break the monotony of the daily lives of the brothers played by Phil Daniels and Tim Roth, which includes a serious aunt (Marianne Baile) striving to become middle class and a chatty, nearly insane bald punk (scene-stealing Gary Oldman, in his first major role), which increasingly frustrates the brothers. "Meanwhile" is driven by Mike Leigh's now-iconic improvisational process and Beckettian rhythms of dialogue, providing a relentless and often extremely funny observation of life on unemployment benefits.
