Jennings' 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.

There's an elegiac, sentimental quality to this film adaptation, from the manipulative meet-cute of Alan and Miss Shepherd through their disputations.

You 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.

The joy of the film comes in watching Smith work her magic.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

Smith's performance as the bizarre old lady, who manages to get help by rejecting it, is the reason to watch this film.
