User Reviews
performance as the irascible old lady who moved into Alan Bennet's driveway. Complete with all her belongings, she and her van moved in for a couple of months and stayed for 15 years. This mostly true story is not a comedy, in fact, much the reverse, however, the brilliance that is Dame Maggie Smith brought a huge range of emotions to the screen. Having seen her interviewed recently I think she has brought a large percentage of her own personality to this character and there are many moments of mirth provided by the dry humour and sheer bloody mindedness of the lady in the van. A very astute woman who lived in fear, but also a strong minded woman who faced day to day head on and completely lived by her own unique rules. Quite a thought provoking film, brought to us by the very talented Alan Bennett and starring one of our best actresses. We were also treated to a very accomplished performance by Alex Jennings who played Alan Bennett. This deserves awards aplenty!!!!!
