The story uncovered the real life hardships of women trying to earn a living in a male dominated environment, and for that I appreciate this film. However, Charlize Theron is a bit overrated and her performance shows it. Frances McDormand steals the spotlight.

A good movie

When this movie came out, it was fairly unnoticed but I think it's pity since it is actually a pretty good flick. It is not a very original story but it is still a very well made and strong drama. Once again, Charlize Theron provides a very good perfomance as a white trash woman (since 'Monster', it seems it has become a speciality for her) and she is surrounded by a very good supporting cast.

" Movie was inspired by the 2002 book Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law by Clara Bingham and Laura Leedy Gansler, which chronicled the case of Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Company."

March Movie Journal - Xanadon't (26 movies items)

" Ah yes, one of those "inspired by a true story" movies. Well, this happens to be a fairly solid one, featuring a number of fairly solid performances. It doesn't do anything poorly, but it doesn't do anything exceptionally well either. The events unfold more or less the way we expect at every given turn. It contains all the requisite "how terrible" moments. So, you know, it's a fine movie. Just not one I much liked. Perhaps the fashionable thing, or the PC thing to do with a movie like this is "
