In 1973 playwright Alan Bennett develops a most unusual friendship with Mary/Margaret Shepherd, where she lived in his driveway in her van for 15 years. Based partly on fact and great imagination of the writer, this movie comes to life with gusto and conviction through the brilliant acting skills of Maggie Smith and her wonderful co-star Alex Jennings whose meek and mild character contrasts so well with Smith's commanding and feisty personality. There is nothing not to like about this movie. Skillfully written with humor and touching drama. It was a refreshing cinematic experience.
