Leave your thoughts about Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution.
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEnjoyable comedy drama with a sharp script and superb performances, though it loses its focus towards the end. |
| Empire MagazineHelen O'HaraOne of the better British comedies we've seen this year. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineLively and colourful, and also a little contrived. But it features a strikingly engaging performance from Tate. |
| User ReviewEleanor PSooooooo cool! Not like everything else and actually funny too! |
| User Reviewstacey fI loved this hilarious movie, which I also viewed at the Philadelphia Film Festival. |
| User ReviewBill RA fresh comedy about a family of British socialists (with some exceptions) decides to move to East Germany in the 60s. Will is fulfill their dreams of paradise on earth? Supposedly based on a true story. |
| User ReviewSue Afabulous - catherine tate great as a housewife who turns "spy" |
| User ReviewNick Tsynopsis: The Ratcliffes decided that being in boring England with all the music, drugs and sex are not just their lives. So they decided to go to East Berlin to get a taste of Marx and Lenin. However, not all of the Ratcliffes enjoyed living in a communist country, especially the supposedly submissive Mrs. Ratcliffe. So what did she do? Smuggle her family out of the country and back to the rest of the world. This is one movie that I find really funny even though they don't intend to. No intentional "accidents", pie in the face or sewer inducing lines. It's just funny in the way they act as a family. Very entertaining. And I have to say this: I don't believe that the English are stupid, but after watching this movie, they sure try their best to look it. XD sos daisy and emma |
| User ReviewIan PFunny satire of life in communist areas from a hilarious viewpoint. Rightfully so, it also has its rather serious moments. |
| User ReviewRachael PThe most important characteristic of "Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution" is its soul. Yes, yes, we all have seen similar films before but this is still a special one - hilarious, moving, realistic, a cry for freedom. |
