Feminism is awesome!
Made in Dagenham is an uplifting story about the power of the working class. It has all the components needed for an excellent British movie – a wonderful cast, fantastic writing and just the right attitude. It's a striking story about feminists...
Delightful!
This movie is a cheerful tale of a serious deal. Cole managed to deliver a clever movie and to create hilarious moments without losing the importance of the issue.
