Janice Beard 45 WPM is a film for anyone who ever swam in the typing pool. It also provides reassurance that anyone who works in an office isn't alone in feeling alone. Scottish Janice (newcomer Eileen Walsh) suffers a never-ending bad hair day while temping at Kendon Motors during a car launch. She's earning pennies for her agoraphobic mother, to whom she sends elaborately staged videos fibbing about her successes in the big world. So simple a life gets complicated by the evil machinations of typing-pool shark Julia (a fantastic Patsy Kensit), and the dangerous allure of office boy Sean (Rhys Ifans sporting the same haircut from Notting Hill). An industrial espionage subplot tugs the light-hearted tone downward only very occasionally. Co-written and directed by first-timer Clare Kilner, on its original release this became a film festival favorite thanks to its dizzy charm (especially Walsh), for seeing the Kensit of Absolute Beginners struggle at a salsa class, and for opening with the line: "My father died in childbirth." --Paul Tonks

Customer Reviews of Janice Beard 45 W.P.M.
Traveler I first saw this movie on a British Airways flight and don't think it was ever released in the U.S. Rhys Ifans' comic genious is now well known to U.S. audiences and is matched by Eileen Walsh in this film. The film begins with the unique premise of Walsh's father (yes, father) dying in during childbirth, her mother who refuses thereafter to leave her house and the tales the daughter weaves to bring the world to her mother ... and then, the consequences of unleashing that imagination on the world when the daughter moves away to London to work. Really a very fine and entertaining film.
