Review of Vera Drake (2004) by Randi M — 18 Oct 2007
My favorite movie of recent years. Incomparable performances, amazing direction, sets so realistic you feel like you're there, and so much FEELING coming out of everyone's eyes and hearts. The subject is tragic and unresolvable and this movie demonstrates exactly why.
Supposedly only the actress playing Vera and director Mike Leigh knew Vera's "secret," so the shock on everyone else's faces was genuine. Mike Leigh is an eclectic writer/director and here he was at his very best.
Do not miss this movie.
