COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Outstanding Drama submitted by kencza on July 29, 2022, 10:32am A fine cast and a great job by director Mike Leigh as the issue of abortion is examined in a forthright and sympathetic fashion. Imelda Staunton is tremendous in the lead role and Sally Hawkins in an early role and Jim Broadbent shine in their roles.
