"Learning to Drive" is precisely the sort of adult-themed, intelligent and heartfelt film it wants to be, with Clarkson and Kingsley wonderfully on point.

Learning to Drive makes me wish we had never met Wendy. Her story is self-indulgent and uninspiring.

This is a gently woven story; small yet nourishing, and well worth the ticket price.

Learning to Drive is a story of companionship, loneliness, resilience. It's a small, artfully crafted thing, but it resonates in big ways.

The gas remains largely unstepped on, the brake cables tragically uncut.

Among the charms of LEARNING TO DRIVE, a small, observant dual portrait of a New York book critic and her Indian-American driving instructor, are the detailed, lived-in performances of its stars, Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley.

Clarkson -- wonderful -- remains one of the least sung and most skilled of America's thinking screen divas.
