It led me to look for other films by Mike Leigh (director). Check out Topsy Turvy, Secrets and Lies, All or Nothing ... for starters. I too saw this for the first time recently and was blown away.

We rented it from Netflix a couple months ago and I was impressed as you were. What a great part she played. I connected with the character of Vera Drake immediately.
