According to the critic Michael Coveney', \"As in Meantime, High Hopes contrasts the economic and spiritual conditions of siblings. And in developing some of the themes in Babies Grow Old and Grown-Ups, it presents a brilliantly organised dramatic résumé of attitudes towards parturition and old age”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Impossible dreams require impossible plans... put that in your pipe and smoke it\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTags: 1980s Comedy Drama Quad British Thriller\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Picture House Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45002021404867,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/8304\/0195\/files\/High_Hopes_-_Quad.png?v=1766326360","url":"https:\/\/picturehouseposters.com\/products\/if-2002-rr-copy","provider":"Picture House Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
