What the Critics are saying:
 
Christian Science Monitor, Peter Rainer
 
The remarkable thing about Smith in The Lady in the Van is that, even though the role is no longer fresh for her, the performance certainly is. She gives it everything she’s got because, you feel, she wants to honor this character. She wants Miss Shepherd to live on.
 
The Playlist, Kimber Myers
 
This isn’t an overly sentimental story; those expecting the emotional swells of other British fare like “Pride” and “Kinky Boots” should adjust their expectations. The Lady in the Van is a more buttoned-up narrative, but it’s no less engaging thanks to Smith, Jennings, and Bennett’s script.
 
Wall Street Journal,Joe Morgenstern
 
This English film, directed by Nicholas Hytner, is also wonderfully funny, terribly touching and a vehicle — with comically dilapidated vehicles — for the boundless gifts of Maggie Smith.
 
Washington Post, Ann Hornaday
 
There’s no denying the humor and pathos of The Lady in the Van, just as there’s no use fending off the force of nature that is Smith.
