Tender Loving Care | Official Trailer | Bleecker Street

What does starting over in midlife look like in a Mike Leigh film? In the trailer for Tender Loving Care, it means a breakup, a return to the parental home and a declaration that the next stage will involve knitting and crochet rather than dating.

That dry humor sits alongside the pressures of caring for other people. A social worker faces difficult client visits and work that follows her home. She describes services squeezed by funding cuts: "Just feels like we're fire fighting most of the time because of the funding cuts to all the services." Within the family, an aging father's needs bring a different kind of responsibility.

Bleecker Street's trailer reached roughly 170,000 views in its first fifteen hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening for uploads of this length. The comments turn to awards hopes, expectations of tears and Leigh himself. Some viewers need little more than his name to explain their interest.

Leigh's earlier films include Secrets & Lies, Happy-Go-Lucky and Mr. Turner, all namechecked in the trailer. Here, the glimpses of workplace exhaustion and family worries are punctuated by drinks, candid conversations and embraces. The father's wish is disarmingly simple: "I just want us to be happy."

Tender Loving Care is set for theaters in December.
