Story
Learning to Drive follows Wendy (Patricia Clarkson), a Manhattan book critic whose marriage has abruptly ended, leaving her dependent on others for driving tasks. Needing to regain independence, she enrolls in driving lessons with Darwan (Ben Kingsley), a Sikh Indian taxi driver who is contemplating an arranged marriage. As they spend time together, Wendy's emotional instability due to her divorce and Darwan's cultural differences create a unique bond between them. Through their shared experiences, both find the courage to navigate their personal challenges and take control of their lives.
Summary
Learning to Drive is a heartfelt drama-comedy directed by Isabel Coixet, set in New York City. The film explores the themes of marital separation, adaptation, and cultural exchange through its central characters: Wendy, a self-absorbed literary critic dealing with her recent divorce, and Darwan, a Sikh taxi driver facing his own arranged marriage prospects. As they embark on driving lessons together, their interactions challenge them to confront their fears and biases, ultimately leading to growth and mutual understanding.
