Critic Reviews of "The Lady in the Van"
Detroit NewsFebruary 12, 2016Jennings' portrayal isn't as flashy as Smith's - the things she can do with just a glance - but the balance they achieve is absolutely glorious.
Globe and MailFebruary 05, 2016There's an elegiac, sentimental quality to this film adaptation, from the manipulative meet-cute of Alan and Miss Shepherd through their disputations.
Seattle TimesFebruary 04, 2016You leave "Lady in the Van" entertained but troubled; it's an agreeably but oddly off-balance film, juggling and nearly dropping the star turn at its center.
Dallas Morning NewsFebruary 04, 2016Smith's performance as the bizarre old lady, who manages to get help by rejecting it, is the reason to watch this film.
St. Louis Post-DispatchFebruary 03, 2016"The Lady in the Van" doesn't pretend to be anything more than a pleasant diversion. And on that level, it succeeds.
Washington City PaperJanuary 10, 2017The Lady in the Van might be preaching, one guesses, about behaving kindly and without judgment toward strangers. The highs and lows that shape it, however, feel unearned.
NUVO NewsweeklyDecember 30, 2016The film is funny in a light, wispy sort of way that never cuts as deep as it should.
Movie HabitDecember 12, 2016It may be more anecdotal than epic, but Lady in the Van should be welcomed for giving Smith an opportunity to add another memorable character to an already substantial portfolio.
Japan TimesDecember 07, 2016Smith is splendid here -- her whole demeanor is testament to the resilience and toughness of a woman determined to survive, be it through old age or nuclear disaster.
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteNovember 15, 2016It's guided by a masterful performer with the unwavering support of a spot-on cast that, like those in the best of Bennett's plays, are all on the same page.
Chesapeake Family MagazineAugust 02, 2016The Lady in the Van follows a fairly typical old-people-are-more-than-they-seem storyline ... The bizarreness of this true story is underplayed.
