This is a very different role than what Maggie Smith normally plays...You'll like it.

The role of the "Lady in the Van" is a complete departure from the types of roles Maggie Smith normally takes. Instead of playing a haughty aristocrat, Dame Maggie plays a once talented concert pianist who is involved in a fatal car crash and ends up blaming herself for the death of the victim. The once talented musician falls apart and becomes homeless and takes up residence in a van on a homeowners' driveway in London. You will be surprised how Dame Maggie finds little humour in being a homeless character. BTW, the story is based on a true story. What a truly engaging, empathetic film.Read full review...

Wonderful!

I've seen this film a few times and it doesn't get old (which is why I've just bought a copy). The genius of Alan Bennett mixed with the wonderful acting of Maggie Smith and a beautiful (and more or less true) story. There are no car chases, torrid affairs or natural disasters; just a gentle, sweet and often funny film.Read full review...

Highly entertaining, brilliantly written & acted.

Both the book and the film are brilliant. Highly recommend both. The book isn't too long either, quite a quick read.
