Director Mike Leigh will blow his audience away with his low budget, independent film, Vera Drake, set in mid-20th century Britain. The real life story is set in a time when abortion was a social taboo and Vera, a middle-aged woman, assists other women without any thought about herself - or her family. The drab, grey atmosphere nicely contributes to the reality of the story as the viewer will feel as if he/she is actually in within the confines of the story space.This sweet yet hearbreaking film is supported by astounding performances by the main actors (especially Stuanton as Vera), with no over-dramatic acting, believable character transformations and impeccable use of everyday English. A geniune treasure that must be unearthed by any DVD collector. Of course, if anything, it will definitely spark debates amongst colleagues, friends and families about the concept of abortion, an issue as relevant as ever, even in today's 21st century.
