Pygmalion Ratings & Reviews
- luisvelazquez204August 18, 2025It’s a really good movie, the actors and writing is really good, a class A movie. Special affects aren’t needed
- Brent BurgessJuly 2, 2025An excellent movie, but the ending left me a bit confused and unsatisfied. The My Fair Lady version with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison is a better treatment of the George Bernard Shaw classic.
- Charles LondonMarch 2, 2025As much as I love Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady), Wendy Hiller's (Pygmalion) portrayal of Eliza Doolittle is the gold standard.
