Beatrice Loayza New York Times Distracting pop-music needle drops and hammy performances give “Lilly” the feel of a Lifetime movie. May 9, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Variety Equal-pay activist and trailblazer Lilly Ledbetter deserves a much better film. Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Betsy Bozdech AWFJ.org While Lilly isn’t the most nuanced of biopics ... there’s no denying the power of Lilly’s story. Clarkson is, as always, excellent. Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Radio Diving into the glut of superhero-saturated cinema, a workplace feminist slips in... Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Aviva Dove-Viebahn Ms. Magazine Particularly effective is the way Clarkson embodies Ledbetter. She says she wanted to “[put] her back on the ground,” rather than raising her up on a pedestal—a down-to-earth sensibility that really comes through. Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times Sadly, this heavy-handed biopic about the legacy of an original crusader for equal pay doesn’t receive the polished treatment it deserves. Rated: 2.5/5 May 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Carl B Patricia Clarkson is perfect. Heart-wrenching story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Jan An important movie to see to remind us of what women had to fight for to get equality in the workplace. A brave woman that we should not forget. Good acting with well placed real footage of congress and the politics of the time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Don Every woman in American should be required to see Lilly to find out what this brave women did for their future pay and equality. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Megan Inspirational story. Well-acted and well told story about the storied Lilly Ledbetter as she fights for fair pay for women. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Tom A truly important story told in a concise way. It shows exactly how far we have fallen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Mark W Its an important story and likely one that was very difficult to get financing for. If you believe in equal pay for equal work, support this movie, buy a ticket. Do it for your Mom. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
