IMDbThe film titled Living is absolutely brilliant. The agony of telling loved ones the news, sorrow over time lost, and the desire to leave a lasting legacy are all brilliantly explored in the film when it comes to approaching death. It is admirable how the plot revolved around other people's lives and how Mr. Williams ultimately had significant impact on those lives. Yes,it is true that the film moves slow, but that is only so the audience can take some time to actually dwell in the loss and grief that was being felt by the characters. Even so, the audience is left with a quiet sense of hope that, if one chooses to, one can ultimately make a difference. Bill Nighy performed flawlessly in his part. The excellent script is made even better by his performance. Each actor is extraordinary. The film is truly fantastic and unique. Definitely a must-watch.

Kazuo Ishiguro had dreamed of doing a remake of Ikiru (1952) in English with Bill Nighy for many years. One night, he and his wife ended up sharing a cab with Nighy after a party, and he pitched the idea. Nighy had never seen Ikiru, but once he watched it, he enthusiastically signed on to the project.
The production designers went to a great deal of trouble to make this film look like it was made in the era it was set, including avoiding quick edits, softening the colour palette and using a relevant font for the film credits.
Vintage 1950s colour newsreel footage was digitally cleaned up for this film to add authenticity to establishing shots of London.
During a Q & A at the 2022 AFI Film Festival, Bill Nighy confessed that despite numerous opportunities, he has not seen the finished film. He dislikes watching himself onscreen, and hasn't watched most of his films.
Lyons Corner Houses were a chain of upmarket tea shops that, at their peak, had 250 in London alone, although their popularity declined after WW2 due to changing tastes and the last one closed in 1977. Interestingly Lyons were directly responsible for the introduction of programmable electronic mainframe computers into the UK after commissioning a team of engineers to build one to help automate part of the business The result was so successful and gained so much attention that Lyons set up their own computer manufacturing division, called LEO to make and sell commercial computer business systems. LEO branded computer's were still in use until the early 1980s although the company had disappeared long before then, eventually becoming ICL.
