Based on a real-life miscarriage of justice, it's a surprisingly even-handed film that steps aside from the cheap manipulative emotionalism that riddles Mike Leigh's Vera Drake to present the good, the bad and the ugly sides of its abortionist protagonist without resorting to easy judgements. It's not a cry for or against abortion, merely offering the facts to the viewer to make up their own mind.
