VERA DRAKE Review: Part I
Elsewhere, the director imbues Vera Drake with a somewhat artificial flavor. True, the film&#8217;s 1950s working-class environment looks real &#8212; cramped homes and ugly clothes &#8212; but Leigh, as usual, overdoes the unattractiveness of his characters. His laborers have bad teeth and funny faces, and several of them look like they might belong in a mental institution. (Alex Kelly&#8217;s Ethel, Vera&#8217;s pathologically shy daughter, is a typical inhabitant of Mike Leigh&#8217;s Mondo Labor.) Worse yet, Leigh treats them like children &#8212; sympathetically, of course, but with a not inconsiderable degree of condescension.
Despite the meticulous preparations and rehearsals that go into Leigh&#8217;s projects &#8212; or perhaps because of them &#8212; several performances feel much too carefully calculated. [...]]]></description>

Vera Drake (2004)
Direction and screenplay: Mike Leigh
Cast: Imelda Staunton, Philip Davis, Peter Wight, Daniel Mays, Alex Kelly, Eddie Marsan, Ruth Sheen, Sally Hawkins, Chris O&#8217;Dowd, Heather Craney
&#160;


&#160; 
Director Mike Leigh&#8217;s touches are found everywhere in Vera Drake, from the drab working-class social setting to the somewhat bizarre characters that inhabit that milieu (at least in Leigh&#8217;s oeuvre). Even so, Vera Drake cannot quite be considered a Mike Leigh Film. This bleak drama about a kind and gentle &#8212; if none too bright &#8212; part-time cleaning woman, part-time wife and mother, and part-time abortionist truly belongs to its leading lady, veteran stage and screen actress Imelda Staunton, whose superb tour de force carries the film to heights it would never have [...]]]></description>
