rafa W Very disappointed with the film. It is a great story made into bad film. Poor directing, bad script and wrong cinematography as well as some very poor acting. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Gayle G I enjoyed the movie and I think it was nicely acted and told a good story. But here are some things that bugged me. I was a little annoyed about all the period clips. There were just too many of them for comfort. It took away valuable time for storytelling. I thought the courtroom scenes were too short and unrealistic. The lawyer for the girls didn't seem to be putting up much of a defense. The real-life lawyer probably did a better job. The politics and love story were overdone and a bit gratuitous. Did factories have no security in those days? Employees could sneak in at midnight and have a party and steal the paint willy-nilly and former employees could just march in whenver they felt like it? Finally, I have this huge pet peeve about the way the girls did the painting. The boss told them to dip, lick, paint. The actual order was lick (or lip), dip, paint. Why would you dip your brush into the paint and then lick it off? The lick was to get a point on the brush and then put paint on that fine point and then paint the numbers. It was such a small thing, but it bugged me. Finally, I wish they had told the story of the actual radium girls and made it historically accurate, rather than fictionalized. In spite of all this, I mostly enjoyed the movie and found it very touching. At least it gets people thinking about the radium girls.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet another Hollywood made America is bad film. I was excited to watch this film it seemed right up my alley, but the film takes a tragic story and doesn't do it justice. Its all over the place with random overly political moments that have no point in being in the movie and draw from the plot. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review greg m Very interesting story. Not a great movie. Glad I watched it, but wished it had better writing and acting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Really a must see! I found myself thinking about the history and evolution of women's struggle for safer working conditions, because of this film. The Radium Girls were successful in holding the big corporation responsible for the death of so many dial painters, but the fight for better workplace conditions for US women continues today. We see this in the form of equal pay demands and zero-tolerance for workplace sexual harassment, for example. This movie is a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking truth to power, organizing for social impact, and the strength of everyday women!
