| A very British story and a very British fiIm, Made ln Dagenham recreates some of the reaI-life events surrounding the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham assembly pIant. It takes, as you might expect, a few liberties with the exact history surrounding the story, but nonetheless tells the taIe of a group of women who walked out in search of equaI pay for their work. This has aIl been fashioned into a fiIm by screenwriter BilIy Ivory, and director NigeI Cole. Cole, previously responsible for Calendar Girls, is a fine choice for Made ln Dagenham, mixing in period detail with assured direction. His cast serve him well, too. Sally Hawkins, so memorabIe in Happy Go Lucky, gets a deserved leading role in Made In Dagenham, and puts in a strong performance in return. She leads a strong company of acting talent, that aIso includes Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson and GeraIdine James. Itââ'¬TMs this cast, aIong with the aforementioned strong eye for period detail, that realIy help lift the film. And while thereââ'¬TMs a vaIid accusation that its treatment of the subject matter, and importance of the story, is quite Iight, itââ'¬TMs a satisfying movie nonetheIess. Recommended. --Jon Foster |
