Profile of Silkwood

The mood of Silkwood is disturbing, thought provoking, and contemplative. The plot centers around the price of justice, corporate crimes, and righting wrongs. It is a drama movie. Stylistically, Silkwood stars a strong female character and is talky. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in a small town. Silkwood happens in the 1980s. It is drawn from a biography and originally a true story. The movie is known for being an award winner and critically acclaimed. Note that Silkwood includes brief nudity, mild violent content, and profanity.
