About this product

Product Information

Mike Leigh produces another devastating masterpiece with the heartbreaking VERA DRAKE. Imelda Staunton is the title character, beloved wife of Stan (Phil Davis) and mother of Sid (Daniel Mays) and Ethel (Alex Kelly). Vera spends her days cleaning houses for money and looking in on elderly and sick neighbors out of the kindness of her heart. She even attempts to be a matchmaker for her daughter, inviting a lonely neighbor, Reg (Eddie Marsan), to see if he might be a perfect match for the introverted Ethel. But Vera performs another duty that her family doesn't know about, one that is deeply frowned upon by society. When tragedy befalls a young client of Vera's, the truth comes out, forcing her family to see their mother in an entirely different light.Staunton gives a towering performance and, in typical Mike Leigh fashion, the story, characters, and script were built from a grueling and intricate improvisation process, resulting in a film that burns with heart-wrenching sincerity. Rather than take a heavy-handed approach towards his controversial subject matter, Leigh heroically remains non-judgmental, delivering an achingly humanistic drama that will linger with audiences long after they leave the theater.

    The DVD was just as described, carefully packaged, delivered on time, and it only cost about $9 (an excellent price for a somewhat-hard-to-find film). My personal thanks to the seller, as this was intended as a gift for a close friend.

    Poor acting, directing

    Main character Vera - old woman, but very energetic, strong, works in factory, takes care of sick people all over the city, cleans riche's houses,no problem climbing stairs, walking distances, all good till she gets caught for "helping" / doing abortions. ALL of a SUDDEN - she can not move, walk, stand up, or speak. In a blink she became so frail, it's unbelievable. Bad directing. Vera was doing illegal thing - "helping", but when caught - she admits guilty. So was she "helping" or what ? Actions speak louder than words. Other characters also non appealing in the movie. The Irish dialect / Irish English language is hard to understand, as the characters speak most of time in whisper. Dialog not interesting. Overall - waste of time and money. That's my opinion. Always rent first, ...

    Another amazing, character-driven, moving film by Mike Leigh. There is so much beauty in these characters and their commitment to each other.
