Mrs Henderson's irrepressible dominance ensures that all the other characters in her orbit seem static and soulless, not unlike the girls in the theatre's nude tableaux.

There's chemistry and tension aplenty in this bittersweet character study.

One of those "prestige" pictures that you can watch with your dear old Mom ... provided your Mom won't be offended by the unclothed young ladies.

Una comedia dramática con iguales dosis de picardía y emotividad, sostenida en dos buenas actuaciones de Judi Dench y Bob Hoskins.

Mainly an excuse for the entertainment industry to toot its own horn, again.

A charming piece that entertains without getting heavy, yet dares to make poignant statements when the moment is right.

When exactly did one of cinema's most accomplished actresses turn into one of its most boring?

Naked ladies may be the enticement, but the main attraction of Mrs. Henderson Presents is Dench and Hoskins squabbling like the old married couple that they aren't.
