Made in Dagenham Reviews
Cole's movie is an attractive package with a populist veneer.

The film's success resides in its ability to balance the mundane with the revolutionary. I was moved by stolen moments between Hawkins and Lisa Hopkins (Pike).

Incredibly stirring and inspiring.

A woman's work is never done. Be it at home or in the workplace, it takes a woman to move a mountain - or Ford Motor Company.

Hollywood gets a of flak for turning true stories into formula fables, but never underestimate the ability of the Brits to do the same thing.

Made in Dagenham doesn't feel like it is saying anything especially new about either workplace sexism or labor relations. However, it is well-acted, well thought-out and informative enough to be worth watching.

Although Made in Dagenham is far from perfect and has a particular fondness for those impromptu speeches which turn out to be stirringly spot-on, it is so warm-hearted and affectionate it wouldn't be right to take against it.

Made in Dagenham is exuberant, touching, fashionable, invigorating and simply absolutely delightful to watch.

Unfortunately, the story is just so predictable that there's little dramatic tension to speak of.

All the anger has been wrapped up in a tea cozy.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 29, 2011
Uplifting tale of fight for equal pay; with strong language.

You want to see how determined working-class citizens can band together and defeat powerful interests? This is your movie.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 4, 2011
...a light, rather cheerful movie that tells its story in an uncomplicated fashion while leaning heavily on '60s style and fashion - it's sort of a Mad Men meets Norma Rae meets Laverne & Shirley affair
| Original Score: 85/100 | Mar 4, 2011
Sally Hawkins isn't built like Rosie the Riveter, but the skinny acting Atlas is more than capable of carrying this formulaic but entertaining feminist labor drama on her fragile-looking shoulders.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 11, 2011
[W]hile there is a power to this tale of triumph, it is measured against the cold calculation of the familiar Brit-com treatment.

Made in Dagenham gamely depicts an interesting bit of history, but its real message is a matter of principle.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 31, 2011
Sally Hawkins is eminently watchable, but it's too bad Made in Dagenham feels like it rolled off another kind of assembly line.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 26, 2011
A hopeful tale of how hard times like these ripple through family and community, and can strengthen both in the process.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 20, 2011
It's too slight to be considered the feel-good movie of the year; we'll call it the feel-pretty-good movie of the year and leave it at that.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 14, 2011
