 A real charmer November 19, 2007
Sherlock (Chicago, Illinois)
A charming film start to finish. Wonderful performances and a great story. I can't believe that this is Rupert Friend's first film - he's a natural.
Absolutely wonderful! November 6, 2007

Mrs. Palfrey was a beautiful vehicle for Joan Plowright's talent. And Rupert Friend was not outshown. The two of them together made a perfect movie. Watching their friendship grow, and seeing the difference each made to the other's life, was very special. I sat at the end of the movie with tears falling freely down my face, not caring whether any family members walked in to see. You finish this movie with a deep sigh of satisfaction, and hours later, you find you are still thinking about it.
 No Closed Captions or Subtitles! : ( October 19, 2007

I wanted to watch this film with my elderly grandmother, who is hearing impaired. She is 93 years old, living in a retirement community, but very spunky! This film seemed perfect for her for various reasons. We were so disappointed when I put it and we discovered that it has no subtitles or close captions. I can't understand how a film lauded by the AARP, seemingly perfect for seniors, is not available with subtitles, which seem to be standard for most current DVD releases. Many seniors are hearing impaired, and would benefit by this added accessibility.
I've been searching the internet for a version of this film with subtitles, but no luck.
Does anyone know where I could find it? Or maybe it does not exist.
Disappointing; but looks like a great film.

Mrs. Palfrey is a sweet entertaining film that moves a bit slowly, but the quality of the story and characters are better emphasized in that way. Joan Plowright is spectacular.
