Review
A handful of wonderful young
to middle-aged British actresses in inordinately sympathetic roles is
what makes this fun, little historical document equal parts enjoyable
and innocuous. It's the type of social criticism which is so far removed
from the controversy at hand that there is no longer any controversy to
discern, which also means that the film is lacking whatever nerve that
the script at times proclaims to have. That being said, Made in
Dagenham is well aware of its own harmlessness, and rather enjoys
it. The film is so feel-good that it even feels good when things are
going awry. Among many heart-warming character relations, the
relationship between Sally Hawkins and Daniel Mays is the most moving,
even if Rosamund Pike's character in many ways is the most interesting.
