Look its an ok movie. Very slow. British style acting. Great concept, but it needed speeding up with more twists. Actors are great. Storyline great. Just slower than i expected and of course predictable. Worth half of what is being charged to own or rent.

Maggie Smith was amazing as always, Alex Jennings was brilliant as Alan Bennet and Roger Allam as the grumpy neighbour. I've seen the stage play, great content, however just a little slow.

Read the actual story with the script of the film included. Alan Bennett had Margaret T Shepherd live in his driveway for 15 years. Her writings are kept for forever with his in the British Library. Some parts of the film have been fictionalized. I liked it very much.
