Watch: Meantime 1983 123movies, Full Movie Online – An odd film, primarily looking at how the dole affects the underclass in Britain. Tim Roth stars as Colin, a slow and possibly intellectually disabled man living with his parents and brother in a housing project. He and his sarcastic manipulative brother still behave like teenagers, living with their parents, harassing each other. The problem is that they are in their late teens or twenties. Neighborhood characters include Hayley, a young woman with a crush on Colin, and Coxy (Gary Oldman) a violent local skinhead who befriends Colin. Trouble ensues when their wealthy aunt gives Colin a job and his brother becomes jealous..
Plot: A working-class family in London’s East End is struggling to stay afloat during the recession under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s premiership. Only the mother Mavis is working; father Frank and the couple’s two sons Colin, a timid, chronically shy individual and Mark, an outspoken, headstrong young man, are on the dole. This situation is contrasted by the presence of Mavis’s sister Barbara, and her husband John, whose financial and social loftiness appears to be a comfortable facade over the unspoken soreness of a lackluster marriage.

Solid film
Meantime is my first Leigh movie and it is very good for a tv movie. The movie looks bleak and ordinary just like the family it presents. Tim Roth and Gary Oldman’s performance were really good, the story itself was depressing one but it showed the reality of Thatcher’s government. It was frustrating for me to watch at times and I wish we got deeper into storyline of some characters but the movie really nailed what it means to have an older brother and how that dynamic works…
