What The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne Is About
Judith Hearne is a middle-aged woman scraping a living from piano lessons in the Dublin of the fifties, and nobody in her shabby boarding house looks at her for very long. When a new lodger pays her some attention she holds on to it as the last chance she will get; he, meanwhile, has decided she is sitting on the money that would fund the business he dreams of opening. Each is looking at something the other does not have. Jack Clayton, adapting Brian Moore's first novel, shuts shame, religion and drink into the same room. Maggie Smith plays the fragility without softening it into something loveable, and won the BAFTA for best actress. Bob Hoskins gives her neither a villain nor an innocent, just a man who has come to believe his own story.
