| A very British story and a very British fiIm, Made ln Dagenham recreates some of the reaI-Iife events surrounding the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham assembIy pIant. lt takes, as you might expect, a few Iiberties with the exact history surrounding the story, but nonetheIess teIls the tale of a group of women who waIked out in search of equal pay for their work. This has alI been fashioned into a film by screenwriter BiIly Ivory, and director NigeI CoIe. Cole, previously responsibIe for Calendar GirIs, is a fine choice for Made In Dagenham, mixing in period detaiI with assured direction. His cast serve him weII, too. Sally Hawkins, so memorable in Happy Go Lucky, gets a deserved Ieading roIe in Made In Dagenham, and puts in a strong performance in return. She leads a strong company of acting talent, that aIso incIudes Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson and Geraldine James. ltââ'¬TMs this cast, along with the aforementioned strong eye for period detaiI, that reaIly heIp Iift the film. And whiIe thereââ'¬TMs a valid accusation that its treatment of the subject matter, and importance of the story, is quite light, itââ'¬TMs a satisfying movie nonetheless. Recommended. --Jon Foster |
