Movie Reviews of Educating Rita
Movie Review: That Liverpool Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
Only Kate from London got it right about the character played by Julie Waters. One reviewer stated that she was a cockney, and the other said she was a London housewife.
Of course she was a Liverpudlian; one who is from Liverpool.
The character would not have been nearly as funny had she been from any other place. The accent and Liverpool attitude is what makes this film work so well.
One of my favorite movies. Have watched it about eight times over the years. It never looses its luster.Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This is on the top of my favorite movie list. It is a touching story of a working class woman trying to "better" herself by becoming more educated. Julie Walters is perfect with her heavy English accent, teamed with Michael Caine who can play any character without flaw. The two hit it off on an adventure of discovery about each other. Both are flawed and easy to relate to. I have waited a long time for this movie to come on DVD. Glad it finally made it.Enjoy!Movie Review: Completely believable performances by Julie & Michael!
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this movie in late 80's and loved it, but didn't visit it again until today. I think I can appeciate it more now then 20 yrs ago. Julie Walters' and Michael Cain's performances were nothing short of brilliant. The dialogue was clever and witty. The transformations of both characters were subtle and continuous and made the story flow seamlessly. I would have to say that this movie is in my top 10 of all-time favorites. Bravo!!Movie Review: Educating Rita
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my all-time favorite movies. Superb acting, realistic but heart-warming story of a working class woman hungry for knowledge. Also a well done examination of the difference between erudition and education. So many poignant scenes, especially one in a pub where everybody is singing, and the mother recognizes the empty life they lead with the quiet statement, "There must be better songs to sing." A must-see movie.Movie Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Willie Russell did the screen play on this classic, northern England comedy. Russell is a liverpudlian with a marvelous sense of humor and a keen sense of class consciousness. Julie Walters should have gotten an academy award for this performance, because she shows
the subtle and profound changes in Rita that make this funny movie poignant.
