Talk:Vera Drake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"She is an honest woman who feels driven to perform these procedures because she was subjected to sexual abuse as a young girl." -- Is this fact (of her having been sexually abused) actually established in the film? I've just seen it & do not recall this being said this bluntly. I do recall that during the grilling session at the police station Vera is asked whether she herself had had an abortion, & she fails to answer the question. But unless I missed something I don't think it's said anywhere in the film that Vera had an abused childhood. ND 05:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
