Summary: Vera Drake is a selfless woman who is completely devoted to, and loved by, her working class family. She spends her days doting on them and caring for her sick neighbor and elderly mother. However, she also secretly visits women and helps them induce miscarriages for unwanted pregnancies. While the practice itself was illegal in 1950s England, Vera sees herself as simply helping women in need, and always does so with a smile and kind words of encouragement. When the authorities finally find her out, Vera's world and family life rapidly unravel. (imdb)

The supurb acting and directing give this movie a subtly disturbing realism that is refreshing to see. The first half of the movie is spent making us feel like a part of this family. Then as the movie hits its emotional turn, we are left as dumbstruck and distraught as the characters in the film. It's deliberately low key and slow moving, which mostly works to its benefit (it did feel a little bit TOO slowly paced a time or two). If nothing else, see it for Staunton's fantastic performance.

It's basically a one woman movie. Imelda Staunton really pulls it off, she's entirely believable in her role of a caring saint who sneaks into the night to 'help woman'. Movie doesn't take sides, but rather lets you decide for yourself. All it does is offer you a glimpse into a past not so long ago... when things were different. The point it makes is: Are things REALLY different or is just our vision skewered. Instant classic drama.'

Socially-centered cinema at its best. It's unbelievable there was no fixed script and most of the dialogues where improvised! A simple story about simple people lives told perfectly by Mike Leight

Thankfully, it's neither an "issue" film nor a hagiography. What it is is a study of what it means to be humane. Sometimes good intentions and illegality co-exist, and sometimes acts can be argued as equally moral or immoral. Mike Leigh orchestrates the story with a master's eye for maximum tragic impact, balancing the grim material with a lighter sub-plot until the moment comes when the darkness consumes the light.

Mike Leigh is honestly amazing. To think that this film had no script absolutely blows me away. Nobody does natural human emotions quite like Mike Leigh.

With a piercingly powerful performance by Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake brings teeming humanity to the controversial subject of abortion.

It features Leigh's trademark realism, but it lacks the moral complexity of his better films. It's too calculated and simplistic to be insightful. I especially didn't like how unambiguously wonderful Imelda Staunton's Drake is. I don't buy the argument that her virtuousness is called into question when her good intentions are usurped by the unpredictability of everyday life. A similar point was made in HGL, but with a more precise script and a more well-rounded protagonist.

Very well done drama, made to satisfy critics. Much very like King's speech, having great leads, british cast which is rarely seen in anything but UK TV mini-series and with strong feeling of Britishness. Perhaps there should have been some finish to S. Wells story and reaction of community towards Drake's family.
