| | Vera Drake (2004): Imelda Staunton, Phil Davis, Daniel Mays, Alex Kelly - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | Vera's trundling through the streets and alleys that take her from task to task: she makes tea for this shut-in, cleans up someone else's flat, brings milk to another, all the while humming to herself, happy in her routine. |
 | | Vera's part in all this is clearly profound, but she treats it as yet another unpaying job, one of the many she toils at each day. |
 | | Vera's customers have no such access of course, and so they either do commit suicide, give up their babies for adoption, raise more children than they can handle, or seek out illegal abortions. |
