“A delicately written, boisterously performed movie about the difficult people who dare us to care about them.”~Rebecca Keegan, Los Angeles Times

Aroview: Maggie Smith is adorable as usual in this cosy adaptation of Alan Bennett's play, based on his experience of developing an unlikely friendship with a transient woman who took up residence in his driveway.

4 stars (Very Good) Perhaps a touch too long but a combination of Alan Bennett's material and Maggie Smith's performance is hard to resist. Alex Jennings is very good and there is support from a quality troupe of character actors. ~Tubbs
