- Hannah (Katrin Cartlidge) and Annie (Lynda Steadman) were inseparable when they shared an apartment, years ago. Now, they are reunited for one weekend on the town.

Precursor - Career Girls review by AG
Mike Leigh is a brilliant film maker. Whatever he does is always interesting. I recall his very early TV efforts 'Nuts in May' 'Abigail's Patrty' and have been hooked since then.... haven't caught 'Turner ' yet. My favourite, at present, is Sally Hawkins in 'Happy-go-Lucky'. I saw it on Cinema Paradiso DVD and when it was over I immediately watched it again with subtitles so that I could catch all the dialogue. 'Career Girls' is OK and has many of the Leigh hallmarks but just didn't quite engage with these characters. I admired Mark Benton's quirky, disturbing role and Andy Serkis' brief cameo as London b(w)anker. The girls were good but I could not get emotionally involved about their adolescence and angst-ridden formative years.
