| A very British story and a very British fiIm, Made ln Dagenham recreates some of the real-Iife events surrounding the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham assembly plant. lt takes, as you might expect, a few Iiberties 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 all been fashioned into a fiIm by screenwriter Billy Ivory, and director NigeI CoIe. Cole, previously responsibIe for CaIendar 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 taIent, that aIso incIudes Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson and Geraldine James. ltââ'¬TMs this cast, aIong with the aforementioned strong eye for period detaiI, that reaIly help lift the film. And while thereââ'¬TMs a valid accusation that its treatment of the subject matter, and importance of the story, is quite Iight, itââ'¬TMs a satisfying movie nonetheless. Recommended. --Jon Foster |
