...Lord's annointed, we find, performs like any of God's lesser creations. The color of his urine is the subject of much interest in the film - during his madness, it is as blue as his blood (a symptom of porphyria). George doesn't neglect any of the other bodily functions either. "Saving your presence, I will try a fart," he informs his Lady (Helen Mirren). He is equally uninhibited...
Boys town is not the movie to see for the inside view on child- welfare problems. Ladybird, Ladybird is.

...would be nice to believe life is really like that: when you get old, you'll be fit and quick like Newman; if you neglect your savings, you'll finally hit your favorite trifecta; even though you live in some nowhere place, buried hip deep in snow for half the year, you'll be warmed by sweet, colorful friends who'll get up a game of strip poker when things turn a little dull...
