Review of The Lady in the Van (2015) by Roksia S — 15 Nov 2016

This is another one of those films that I talk about that most of you will never watch. Maggie Smith plays an incredibly interesting character who lives in a van on Alan Bennett's property and stays there for fifteen long years.

What I really like about this film is that there is no real protagonist or antagonist and Maggie Smith's character doesn't have all that many redeeming qualities, yet for whatever reason she still makes you care deeply about her character and her relationship with the writer of this story, Alan Bennett.

This won't be for everyone as I know quite a few of you will likely feel bored as this slower sort of film is clearly meant for an older audience, but if you feel up to the challenge then by all means give this film a chance.
