All but abandoned by her family in a London retirement hotel, an elderly woman strikes up a curious friendship with a young writer WHAT THE CRITICS SAY
The NY Times –
"' Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont ' is a juicy morsel for the great British actress Dame Joan Plowright, who endows Mrs. Palfrey with stoic charm and decency."
Variety –
"' Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont ' is an endearing, deceptively simple story (the film) excels at presenting a relationship unfurling with comedic undertones that will appeal to older audiences, art house patrons, and Joan Plowright fans."
The Hollywood Reporter –
"As in a fine miniature painting, director Dan Ireland and screenwriter Ruth Sacks work in small brushstrokes in ' Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont .' The details are what matters, and thanks to a cast of all-star British elders and a mischievous sense of humor, the filmmakers bring those details to vivid life." CREDITS
