Product: The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 5.0
Short Version: They Get It. This isn't about stereotypes!
The only false note in this movie is when one character makes a negative comment about Judith's appearance. Please. Maggie Smith would be a knockout standing in the middle of a blizzard and wrapped in a burka. That aside, universal excellence. On repeat viewings, note the extraordinary props and costumes (including a set of tortoise shell knitting pins that must have come from someone's great grandmother.)
