Vera Drake
Vera Drake is a lower middle class domestic employee in 1950 England. She always has a cup of tea (and lots of sympathy) handy for the girls she helps out of their troubles. Her motives are not mercenary; she does what she does out of the goodness of her heart. The expression on her face when she gets caught is one of the best I have seen in films. It makes the audience understand and empathize with her. Imelda Staunton deserves the Best Actress Oscar for 2004.
The sets are superb, catching the drabness of the life Vera Drake leads. The clothes are just right, too. They're the clothes the people living in that era must have worn.
One of the best lines in Vera Drake is the one spoken by a character after Vera Drake is found out.
"If you can't feed them, you can't love them," he says about the reasons why the women seek to terminate their pregnancies.
