London 1950. Vera, the protagonist, has a secret: practice illegal abortions challenging the morality of a politically correct society. P ur being a good mother and wife impeccable, he does to help young women who are in difficulty, as in the case of the whose emergency hospitalization for complications occurring , causing police intervention that does spill the beans to his mother's girl. L visits to police Vera Drake in full daughter's engagement party, thus upsetting all those present: in the woman is questioned separately in tears and admits that he did so to help girls and only shows a large disturbance in the aggravation of the news young man in question. In the police station, following her husband, said then that she also had suffered a miscarriage as a young man, and is shocked at news that the friend who gave the addresses of people to help perceived rewards, unlike her, which made him free, spirit of compassion. After a night in jail was released on bail. Her husband assures her support and understanding, otherwise by his son, rather shocked and upset by quell'indecenza carried out in secret by everyone. the process inflicts almost 3 years in prison. The main character in particular and all of the actors are perfect and natural as in the other two films I remember about Mike Leigh. This is next to Secrets & Lies and previous AnotherYear. The narrative masterfully shows the lingering patina of shame in front of the moralism of the time, that's the beauty of the film. The "civil compassion" in this film must be the same as the record jew pulled out with the refusal of the invitation at the last 2 or 3 years ago University of Jerusalem, giving reasons for that refusal with a certain law, for him unacceptable , on loyalty to the state that had to go to the Israeli parliament. Great, emotional and sympathetic Leigh!
