Rag Tale is an unusually pacy and clever film. As a person who gets bored fairly quickly, I found it gripped my attention and was one of the few films I have seen recently of which I haven't been able to guess the ending. It keeps the viewer on their toes with clever camera movement and editing which really makes you feel like a fly-on-the-wall of the office. I almost felt as if the story was told from the viewpoint of a character similar to Debbs who listens in to everything that's going on. The music was great and I would definitely buy the soundtrack, something which I normally wouldn't even notice.
The director makes you dislike M.J. from the start, but ultimately you can empathise with her situation. The ending had a real effect on me and is something which I won't be able to forget easily.
The performances of Kerry Fox and Simon Callow are particularly memorable because of their comic aptitude, and I would certainly recommend this film as I will go to see it again when it's on general release. People who don't like this film probably can't follow it's pace and relation to current affairs.
