So, 'Not for the Likes of Us' is this interesting blend of comedy and drama, a TV movie from 1980 that's kind of a snapshot of a woman's struggle in a mundane life. Connie, our protagonist, is juggling a supermarket job and her cinema gig while dealing with a pretty laid-back husband and two kids. It’s got this slow burn where Connie starts to question the whole domesticity thing, which feels quite poignant. The performances, especially in how they navigate the family dynamic, really bring the atmosphere to life. There’s something unique about the way it tackles traditional roles, pushing against them but not in an overtly dramatic way. Just a solid watch for anyone interested in character-driven stories from that era.
