Vera Drake

I knew this was gonna be a good film. Mike Leigh always brings painful truth to his films. From the first scene you just know you're heart will be broken. By the last scene, everyone's is. Inbetween, the story seems simple on the surface, but is really a complex morality tale about the class system in post-WW2 England, family, and of course, a women's right to choose.

The link goes to Ebert's review that sums it up far better than I can.
