Chief Chick Comments

Maggie Smith is quite good, as usual, as Mary or is it Margaret Sheperd who lives in a van and is accepted by the neighborhood as a badge to show how kind they are…. Actually, mostly Alan Bennett,who is a gay playwright who recently bought a townhouse. He cautiously befriends her. In some ways, this is an uncomfortable subject, yet there are light moments and the story is well written by the playwright himself. The comparison of Mary with his aging Mother is interesting. While the movie has some slow parts, it is enjoyable.
