Storyline

Rita, a witty 26-year-old hairdresser, wants to 'discover' herself, so she joins the Open University where she meets the disillusioned professor of literature, Dr. Frank Bryant. His marriage has failed, his new girlfriend is having an affair with his best friend and he can't get through the day without downing a bottle or two of whisky. What Frank needs is a challenge... and along comes Rita.

RTThe Times (UK)Aug 30, 2022

Willy Russell’s engaging stage play, combined with the charm of Julie Walters and Michael Caine in the lead roles, produces a riff on Pygmalion that breaks free of its theatrical origins.

If only I'd been able to believe they were actually reading the books, then everything else would have fallen into place. But I didn't believe it.

RTEl Pais (Spain)Feb 10, 2020

A restrained and classic film, with a correct prose, but with no imagination. [Full Review in Spanish]
