I like her accent!

Pardoning the resentment of the subject matter, this is a great movie. Imelda Staunton is a marvelous actress. Her performance was excellent, and so very believable.

I can't believe that Dorolores Umbridge...

It's a very beautiful film. Staunton gives such an amazing performance. Has a serious downer ending, though, but that's also expected.

Just watched the film on TV. Such distraught acting, it was heart rending to watch poor Vera's life fall apart because of her selfless kindness. The charectors in this film were all believable..flawless acting. A film with a real insight into the early 50's and the class division between rich & poor. Hard times.

I've never really noticed her until I watched her performance in Vera Drake, and I've been a fan ever since. I mean, I've seen her before, but her performance in this particular film made me realize that she had incredible depth. Perhaps because it's the one role I've seen her play where she wasn't a mousy, fast-talking, poor, outsider perpetually on the verge of nervous exhaustion. Thanks for posting.

a real example of pure method acting, and look how good the end product is! So many ctors and directors overook these kinds of things. All mike Leigh's films are top notch.

Vera Drake was such a heart-breaking movie. I was worried when I heard Imelda would be playing Umbridge because I couldn't see her playing an evil character because she was such a sweet old thing in Vera Drake but Imelda totally pulled it off in the Potter movies. She's brilliant :)

she looked really old in the film?
Seh is such a great actress. I really love her.
