Review of Vera Drake (2004) by Dryorophus — 25 Aug 2009

This is a realistic movie that describes the struggling of women at the bottom of the society, the conflict between the law designed to protect women and a selfless heart used to help women out of troubles.

The acting of the entire cast, especially Imelda Stunton, is just terrific. No wonder this movie wins so many awards. I was so much into the movie that I blamed Vera never defensed herself at the court.

Then I realize that she is just a 50 year-old working-class woman who did not have good education in 1950. But, it is still sad to see her be fixed in the cross by those "noble" intellectuals due to her good heart.
