Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 04/26/2019
Despite its predictable graph, the film stays watchable, essentially because of Mrs Ratcliffe's doughty act: [Catherine] Tate sets her jaw and grabs the bit and goes at it. Go to Full Review Stella Papamichael BBC.com 10/27/2007

Enjoyable comedy drama with a sharp script and superb performances, though it loses its focus towards the end. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 10/27/2007
3/5
Lively and colourful, and also a little contrived. But it features a strikingly engaging performance from Tate. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

acsdoug D @acsdoug 03/20/2024 It had some rather humorous moments, as well as some telling comments about communism, but the last part of the movie turns into an unrealistic farce. See more root 07/03/2023 An underrated comedy gem. I'd love to see this get a wider release on streaming services. Catherine Tate is simply incredible here as both a comedic and dramatic actress. See more 07/02/2012 Funny satire of life in communist areas from a hilarious viewpoint. Rightfully so, it also has its rather serious moments. See more 11/04/2011 Littered with absurd historic inaccuracies this is a banal and only occasionally funny movie that rambled along without much of a story or purpose. Watchable and forgettable... See more 10/24/2011 Dire with dreadful accents. See more 02/22/2011 The 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. See more Read all reviews
