    Really Great Movie Despite The Subject Matter
    Call Jane

    This was a really great movie from start to finish. Yes, from the outset, it did appear the subject matter would just be an American Vera Drake. However, it was much more than that.

    There was a good deal of humour, and you got a really good sense what with the fashions and certain behaviours about the time and history that we were watching.

    We had an absolutely fabulous performance by Elizabeth Banks and the cast. I was very impressed by the way the husband was played by Chris Messina (quite an unrecognised talent) as that was a very difficult line to tread, one minute supporting his wife, and at the next condemning her actions, whilst being shocked at the revelation.

    Overall, I'm going to give this a firm 8 out of 10. There was lots of humour, some of it gallows humour and some very insightful acting not to mention the wonderful script.

    Yep
    I didn't even know about this movie. My husband selected it, thinking it might be a controversial, yet sort of feel good, blend. It is exactly that, touches upon a very sensitive topic that we shouldn't even have to discuss ...yet here we are still in 2023, but I digress. The story is great. The acting is pretty good, and I believe the story. Well worth watching and I wish it had more views...it needs to be seen. Seriously too bad I'd never heard of it and I'll be telling everyone to watch it. Main characters do a good job, the settings for the time period are well done. Spend the time watching then talk to others about it.
