"Still Working 9 to 5" reunites stars Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman from the original "9 to 5" film, as well as Rita Moreno from the "9 to 5" TV series, Allison Janney from the Broadway musical, and other stars from the television and stage versions of the classic film. Also featured are activists and individuals closely associated with the women's movement, both now and then. The documentary explores the comedic tone of the film and how it resonated with a wide audience at a time when the feminist message was being rejected and/or feared by a large swathe of the population. It further follows how the success of the film spawned various "9 to 5" spin-offs, including a TV series (1980s) and musicals (2009 & 2019), discussing the same issues addressed in the film (and its spin-offs) and questions if the message retains its original poignancy, as well as examining what has and has not changed for women in the workplace over the last 40 years.

Joe Leydon Variety Documentarians Camille Hardman and Gary Lane do a splendidly entertaining job of showing how the comedy came together. May 10, 2022 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter A sparky oral history and a tribute to the power of pop culture to spotlight tough problems... Mar 14, 2022 Full Review Katie Walsh TheWrap This is a straightforward talking-heads and archival-footage kind of project. But the access to the films stars and producers, as well as notable feminist activists spanning the first and third waves of feminism, is what makes this documentary appealing. Mar 13, 2022 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews Still Working 9 to 5 is a documentary I hope more people get to see, as there are many people in the audience who will see themselves in the themes discussed in the film, and feel moved by its call for equality and respect. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry Crafted with love and appreciation for the film it covers, Still Working 9 to 5 provides a rich experience in itself. It also serves as a reminder: we're still here. Feb 15, 2024 Full Review Amanda Mazzillo Film Joy Still Working 9 to 5 is a thoughtful documentary which explores the making of the 1980 comedy 9 to 5 through its social and political message that is still just as a relevant today.
