Unremarkable settings (a University somewhere in England), a professor of literature (how boring), an uneducated English housewife (dull), and yet one enchanting movie.
Julie Walters walks on campus and walks away with a truly delightful performance rarely seen before. Transforming from dizzy hairdresser to an educated woman she proves that we are what we are and thank God she remained who she was. The only disappointing moment in the movie was when she walked on in that long corridor of the airport. She should have joined Frank. And when the music came on, I had tears in my eyes. There, I admit it!
