The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

Two-time Academy Award® winner Maggie Smith (The Harry Potter films, Gosford Park) delivers a stunning performance in this richly emotional tale of desperate longings, secret vices, and the power of romantic illusions. Painfully shy, unmarried but ever-hopeful, Judith Hearne (Smith) is immediately smitten by her new boarding house acquaintance, James Madden (Oscar® nominee Bob Hoskins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit). But is James in love with Judith… or attracted only by the money she can bring to his latest get-rich-quick scheme? A brilliantly acted, unforgettable dramatic tour de force from Oscar® nominated director Jack Clayton (Room at the Top).
