Review of Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005) by Jesse T — 09 May 2006
"Well isn't this delicious", as Mrs. Henderson would say. This movie is absolutely terrific. You probably would get the impression that this movie is about a theatre which hosts performances where naked women prance around. It actually has a much more in-depth meaning. The true poignancy of this movie is charming and the screenplay really impressed me.
It's a better drama than it is a comedy, but it is still quite funny. It becomes sad, too, near the end of the film. It has everything a great movie should have... not to mention the naked women.
Judi Dench was absolutely phenomenal and deserved her Oscar nomination last year. Bob Hoskins was terrific, also and missed out at the Oscars last year. He truly deserved a nod. Kelly Reilly is a stunning newcomer and has true potential in the film industry.
A great movie that should be watched by all. Well done.
