Made in Dagenham is a well told tale.

(I wonder how many movies I've said that about? Quite a few, but still a rarity. It's one of my highest commendations.)

A little slice of not too distant history - - believe it or not kiddies, but it's actually from an era within the living memory of some ancient folk still walking the Earth today! Can you imagine a time when we would even imagine questioning equal rights? Wild, huh?!?

So, this story of the past, her story as it were, carries us enthralled in it's filmic finesse. What could have been a dry old documentary turns out to be an illuminating joy to watch.

Sally Hawkins is spot on as the lead and all the other supporting actors (yes, even the men) are too!

If you also happen to be a person who enjoys a well told tale, be sure to catch Made in Dagenham before history repeats itself (again).


26 out of 5.

Um, I hope this is a joke satirizing the state of "equality" in modern America, otherwise, yikes.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

Very enjoyable. Sally Hawkins was great, and it's always a delight to see the lovely Rosamund Pike.

It is decent. Sally Hawkins is an agglomerate of emotion thinly veiled in human skin.

A fairly standard inspirational period piece, but made with care and skill. The type of light British feel-good dramedy director Nigel Cole specializes in (his past credits include Saving Grace and Calendar Girls). The top-notch cast--Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson, Rosamund Pike, Richard Schiff--do unblemished work.

B+
