thiago S @Thiagostone May 30 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Scott R @ScottR Mar 8 NYT 1000 films. Great cast. Some bizarre social issues, but it’s based on a true story that should be told. It pits keeping jobs in a struggling industry vs safety and worker rights. It oversimplified many of the issues and didn’t explain what she was doing to prove her case. It just alluded to facts in a notebook. Could have been more compelling. One of my favorite aspects was how they showed the uneducated aspects of the workers, but how despite that they rose to the occasion because they needed to know what they were doing to protect their wellbeing. Saw on box. See more Evelyn X @yiyi1111 Jan 25 This is a tragic story based on true events. Even though the dangers of radiation were known, people still had to work to make a living, so they refused to provide evidence to the Union. Karen was bold and brave. Perhaps she gained this resilience from her early marriage and her children. Fortunately, she had the love and support of Andrew and Cher. Tragically, she suffered from internal radiation contamination. In the end, her fight to help the Union and challenge the company may have led to her untimely death.

Everything is really well done here, but the acting is outstanding and the highlightt. Streep gives an Oscar worthy performance for such a likeable, attractive, flawed, determined, and couragous person. The film nails the asetics, world building, and demeanor of blue collar working class with all star treatment. Ward, Cher, Nelson, all are excellent and Russell is really good to and has great chemistry with Streep. The settings are all memorable too thanks to the strong direction. This film also just makes you angry as well for the misgivings and struggles of blue vs white collar. The one thing that holds this back for me is the drama of Karen's life and the union/espionage story of her vs the company can feel like two seperate movies at times. There both great but the story of her versus the company is the more interesting of the two. One generate riveting drama while the other generates paranoia/tension. However, it felt like the paranoia factor could never get going consistently because the drama kind of slows things down and it has to ramp things up again. I'm not sure how you'd fix that but it still works really well overall. Anyone who is a fan of the director, any actors in this, dramas, or even thrillers may like this. See more Read all reviews
