Distracting pop-music needle drops and hammy performances give “Lilly” the feel of a Lifetime movie.

Equal-pay activist and trailblazer Lilly Ledbetter deserves a much better film.

Cinemalogue

Clarkson channels some of Lilly’s feisty tenacity, although this earnest biopic overall lacks subtlety and surprise.

The story of Lilly Ledbetter ... never feels like her own in Lilly.

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

By-the-numbers, heavy-handed and clunky, Patricia Clarkson anchors Lilly with her warm, tender and emotionally honest performance. She manages to breathe much-needed life into her role despite the shallow screenplay.

A truly important story told in a concise way. It shows exactly how far we have fallen.

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.

Patti

A poignant and very moving drama about Lilly Ledbetter, an Alabama female factory worker who through her inner strength and resolve, fought for equal pay all the way to the Supreme Court. It's a movie for our times. Patricia Clarkson embodies Lilly's spirit and gumption beautifully.
