Housewife, 49

This is a touching story of how a housewife and mother deals with the effexts of World War 2 by writting a diary. It shows that even in the mist of tragedy, lifes can be improved.
Victoria wood is excellent in this as the lead character. She completely takes this role and I thought she really showed how it was like to be there, trying to continue to live whilst the whole world was dealing with the war.
As well as being a touching film, there are lines and small parts that made me smile, thinking about the fact that some people simply got on with life and tryed not to let the war hurt them too much.
I think this film was written brilliantly by Victoria Wood and show how diverse her writting can be as this is so far from what we would normally see her do. Fans of Victoria Wood should definately watch this.
