That made me clench my vagina with such force that it collapsed in on itself forming a black hole which will eventually engulf the universe.

Vera Drake was about a back street abortionist, not prostitution, for the benefit of those who have not seen it. The film deserved an Oscar, probably Mike Leigh's finest.
