Drama When patients' rights lawyer Colette Hughes goes to meet her new client, Eleanor Riese, a patient in the psychiatric unit of a San Francisco hospital, she has no idea that besides taking on an uphill legal battle to improve treatment for mental patients in hospitals, she is meeting a woman who will make it her mission to transform Colette's workaholic life.

	Media	Author	Review
		Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"What to say about Bonham Carter's performance? (...) When the real Eleanor's picture appears in the closing credits crawl it feels more like an insult than a tribute"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"What emerges a competent but uninspired case-pleading meller fails to elicit memorable work from any of its principal collaborators."
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A well-meaning drama that can’t escape the conventionality of its execution (...) '55 Steps' resolves itself a little too neatly."
