Film
In 1995 Reid was the voice of Wendolene Ramsbottom in the Wallace and Gromit film A Close Shave. Her other film appearances include Love and Death on Long Island (1997) and The Mother (2003), the latter performance secured her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 2004.
She filmed a minor role as a lesbian headmistress in the 2003 film Love Actually, but Reid is not credited in the cast list as all her scenes were ultimately deleted, as they were not central to the main plot. They can however, be viewed in the deleted scenes on the Love Actually DVD. She also appeared in the film Hot Fuzz in 2007. In 2010 she appeared with Ricky Gervais in the film Cemetery Junction, which he wrote and directed with Stephen Merchant.
Reid co-starred with Vanessa Redgrave and Terence Stamp in the film Song for Marion which will be released in UK cinemas in 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They’re obliged to overstate their own importance.”
—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
