There’s literary agent Wendy (Patricia Clarkson) whose husband has left her after a 21 year marriage, leaving her in a suddenly empty world. Then there’s driving instructor Darwan (Ben Kingsley), a Sikh driving instructor who is on the verge of an arranged marriage. So what happens when these two people meet?
Learning To Drive is the modest and heartwarming story of the relationship between two people with such different lives; that both find that the other has something very valuable to learn from…
We went to see this film, and found it was a very enjoyable, funny and heartfelt tale. The unconventional friendship between the two leads allowed for realistic character development. The contrast between a wealthy white woman living in New York compared to an immigrant Sikh was mind opening – and yet the two still came together.

Learning to Drive is out in cinemas on 10th June.
