According to wikipedia and from the real life footage shown at the end of the film, I gather that the main character of the film "Rita O'Grady" is to some extent a fictional character in that she is based on more than one woman, well they could have fooled me because I was convinced by Sally Hawkins' portrayal of this fiery yet somewhat nervous and slightly mousy lead lady.
Her support cast is truly fantastic as well though, I'd ...more

The girl's jobs were downgraded to 'non skilled' from ... Read the complete review
