Saving Grace

...the concept of a naive, middle-class housewife suddenly becoming a drug dealer has a certain charm, and Nigel Cole's film has its fair share of bright moments, mostly courtesy of Blethyn...

The setup of Saving Grace is fun, and Blethyn helps by being not just a helpless innocent but a smart woman who depended too much on her husband and now quickly learns to cope.

...thanks to a measured turn from green-fingered Blethyn, this is a healthy, well-pruned, homegrown comedy.

Blethyn is utterly charming as the slightly twee Grace, and Ferguson's lunkheaded appeal provides a perfect foil...

...Saving Grace wrings laughs from the antics of affable, eccentric villagers who cheerily break the law while even the vicar smiles benignly.
