This one was in the library and tried it once. It was still a beautiful film, which mainly relies on the acting of Maggie Smith, although the story was certainly not bad.
It was worth seeing it once, I was certainly not bored with it.

"A mostly true story"...
Dame Maggie Smith stars as the bitter, unruly old woman, but Alex Jennings, in his dual personality, (a clever find) is also very enjoyable in this drama-comedy by Nicholas Hytner ("The Madness of King George").
It's British through and through, perhaps a bit caricatured at times, but the humor (the happening with the "van", the petty bourgeois situations - the neighbors for example - and the many allusions) is the most special and enjoyable ingredient of the movie.

Quite a fun movie. I think the story is quite interesting, the acting is good and the execution is okay, but not great. I do like British films and I think this film is fine to have seen, but no more than that. 3*
