(Stephen
Frears/2013/UK)
Not many
films make me cry, this did. Maybe it’s the relevance with recent
revelations in Ireland but the poignancy and pathos achieved strikes
home. Coogan and Dench deliver powerhouse performances, retrained and
hammy enough to bring you in and leave you open for the inevitable.
I’m skirting around spoiling a well known story but it’s that
good. A true story, very affecting and only a skim of the surface of
the tragedies of the laundries in this country.
(4/5)
