Clarkson -- wonderful -- remains one of the least sung and most skilled of America's thinking screen divas.

Clarkson, in particular, is spot-on; her character unfolds gradually into the serenity that comes with hard-earned self-sufficiency. And the gentle, low-key humour belies some spiky observations about multicultural America.

This is a low key but witty and often affecting film with excellent performances from Clarkson and Kingsley.

The gas remains largely unstepped on, the brake cables tragically uncut.

Visually, Learning to Drive is mostly flat -- but then, there are only so many ways you can shoot two people sitting next to each other in a car.
October 7, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
"Learning to Drive" is precisely the sort of adult-themed, intelligent and heartfelt film it wants to be, with Clarkson and Kingsley wonderfully on point.

Audience Reviews for Learning to Drive

Mar 29, 2018Nice slice of life movie. I enjoyed the small glimpse into Indian culture and was impressed, as always, by Patricia Clarkson. Really nice movie about the friendship between a recently separated woman and her Indian driving instructor. I liked how they showed the issues both face while still being an uplifting film. The arranged marriage part was interesting too.Nicki M Super Reviewer
