From the sensational cast to the writing, direction and the locations used this is one of the best drama productions the BBC has done for years.
Glenda Jackson is amazing in her first TV role in nearly 30 years. Her portrayal of Maude is heartbreaking and very realistic.
The sadness, defiance, anger, confusion and frustration of Dementia - There are a whole range of emotions on display giving Ms Jackson the chance to show off her stunning range. The girl who plays her grandaughter is excellent too. They work beautifully together. The whole family unit of mother/daughter/grandaughter are realistically portrayed and show how this disease really can destroy everyone it touches.
There are no words to describe how good this TV film is. Breathtakingly powerful scenes.
A BAFTA or 5 will hopefully be awarded to the cast and crew.
