She Knows Y' Know

"She Knows Y'Know" is a comedy set in a working class London neighborhood. As such, the accents are thick, but fortunately there ARE closed captions for this film following its restoration, so be sure to activate them.

The star of this film, clearly, is Hylda (Hylda Baker). She is a VERY domineering woman and what she says is the law in her home. So, when neighbors come to Hylda alleging that Hylda's son impregnated their daughter, Hylda goes into fight mode...and she's bound and determined to keep her son single and working towards finishing his college education.

Hylda is a character who is both likable and truly awful at the same time. She is opinionated, loud and has a tendency to act without thinking...but, down deep, she also loves her family and would fight to protect them like a badger protecting its young. She's also pretty funny...and make the film worth seeing.

Overall, nothing brilliant but an enjoyable family comedy. Again, however, it's imperative that most viewers use their captions, as the accents are thich here.
