More than anything else, it is a vehicle for Joan Plowright, a genteel, oh-so-English treatise on the state of growing old, abandoned by family and the fact that there are good strangers who become your family in a sense.  Plowright is undeniably spot on in the lead and Rupert Friend does well as her 26 year-old ‘grandson’ in a part that could so easily have been embarrassing.  It is also good to see Anna Massey in a supporting role.  There is nothing very original here but it is sweet and decent and a good sentimental film for those who like them.
