This movie is so good, it doesn't even have to try... if Maggie Smith doesn't get an Oscar for her stella performace, then I will eat my hat. I cried, I laughed, I loved it. I give it 8.5/10

If anything, I'd say that they belaboured her situation a tad too long and could have leaped to her back story much sooner.
