Taking place in pre-World War II England, aging sisters Ursula and Janet live peacefully in their cottage on the shore of Cornwall. One morning following a violent storm, the sisters spot from their garden a nearly-drowned man lying on the beach. They nurse him back to health and discover that he is Polish. Communicating in broken German while they teach him English, they learn his name is Andrea and that he is a particularly gifted violinist. His boat was on its way to America, where he is headed to look for a better life. It doesn't take long for them to become attached to Andrea, and they dote on him. Other townspeople, however, have their suspicions, especially when he befriends a Russian woman, Olga.
Leave your thoughts about Ladies in Lavender.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThis is the most impressive directing debut by a "name" British actor in a long, long time. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchA film of graceful persuasion and quiet majesty. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John WirtMaggie Smith and Judi Dench are a great duo, but the film isn't so great. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohSmith is rather wasted...Perhaps if the actresses had exchanged roles, this pallid palette would have had more emotional color. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderDench and Smith are the sort of performers that students of fine acting are pleased to watch in anything, even if it's sweet-but-unsatisfying, unremarkable stuff like this. |

| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthA creeping Morning Glory of a film, slowly blossoming into its unkempt beauty. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasLadies in Lavender oscillates between scenes so relentlessly nice they make you want to scream and others - particularly those depicting the crush Dench develops on her new housemate - creepier than anything in "The Amityville Horror." |
| BBC.comAli CatterallPhenomenally acted, exquisitely scored, and ultimately moving. |
| OregonianShawn LevyLuckily for the rather slight story, [Dance] has recruited two of the most effortlessly brilliant grande dames of British film, Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. |
