Tour De Force


Imelda Staunton gave perhaps the finest acting performance of the decade as the ill-fated abortionist of mercy Vera Drake. Devoid of Hollywood theatrics and manipulation, clichés, and lecturing, Mike Leigh's amazing movie digs for the quiet and often powerful emotional truth in the lives of his characters and wrings the most wrenching performances from his highly talented, average looking band of veteran British actors. By all means, rent it if you haven't seen it yet - this is essential viewing!
