Product: The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 5.0
Maggie Smith gives one of the greatest performances I have ever seen.
-- and one of the most moving.Smith plays a lonely Irish woman who is struggling with near poverty and a drinking problem, and who relies on her religious faith, and a man she meets, to cope with her life. When her faith and the man seem to be failing her, she has to find strength from within herself.Don't let this one get away. If a DVD isn't available, get a VHS -- preferably an original one, not one that's been burned onto a DVD. Check the reviews to learn about the quality of the various recordings that are offered.
