Review of Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005) by Madeline S — 03 Nov 2006
It is commendable that the folks involved in this were so excited about bringing this remarkable story to the screen, and, for historical purposes, it is well worth seeing. As far as the entertainment value goes, however, there is little beyond the historical value of the information that makes this stand out.
The players are competent, and the sets and costumes are well done. Other than that, there's not much to get excited about here. Hoskins pretty much nails it when he dresses Dench down -- no pun intended -- for being a bored and monied member of the upper class who's out of touch with the real world.
