Plot summary

Based on a true story, Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution is the tale of a family from Bingley in Yorkshire, who defect to East Germany. Here they find a nightmare of rationing, censorship and the most spied upon people in history rather than the Marxist utopia they were expecting. But if they thought getting in was difficult wait until they try to get out.

Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution (2007) is a 103-minute-long British

Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution (2007) is a 103-minute-long British comedy I saw on Prime in March 2026. The initial stages of this film are two montages put side by side to introduce the characters in England and then as they acclimatise to East Germany. From those two montages the plot begins. The comedy is light. I will go out on a limb and say that this film is somewhat of a Wizard of Oz reimagining: Mrs Ratcliffe is named Dorothy, they get to see behind the Iron Curtain, they escape the Wizard of Oz (East Germans were called Ossi) in a balloon (Dorothy was meant to escape Oz in a balloon). I rest my case. Like a lot of comedies, the last third is a mad dash to tie off all the plot loops into a pretty bow for a happy ending. We get there. Just. Rewatch? Maybe. Recommend? Yes. 5/10.

It had some rather humorous moments, as well

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.

Mildly entertaining. Brittany Ashworth is a knock-out
