In 1950s London, Vera Drake, a kind-hearted working-class woman, secretly performs abortions for women in desperate circumstances. When her illegal practice is discovered, the consequences ripple through her devoted family and expose the moral contradictions of her era.
Cindy says
Leigh crafts a quiet, devastating portrait of moral conviction meeting brutal social judgment. Staunton delivers a masterclass in understated tragedy—her Vera is so fundamentally decent that watching her world collapse becomes almost unbearable. Unflinching and humane.
