REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 2-May-2005) As a rule I refrain from watching
movies whose books I have read first and loved, because as a rule the
movies hardly ever do them justice and/or it is almost unrecognizable
after all the re-writes. In the case of RITA however I watched it
because I know the author and am good friends with his sister. The
movie is excellent and touching. It captures the struggle of a lower
class person feeling totally lost and not belonging and her fight to
find something better. The character as portrayed by Julie Walters
(Rita) and Michael Caine are in depth and touching. I am surprised to
find that there is nothing on this website about Ms. Walters or the
author Willy Russell. Knowing the story is autobiographical makes it
all the more interesting.
Do you know something we don't?
