Movie #439 "Made in Dagenham" was, to me, a slight film, but it didn't need to be. It's no Norma Rae, that's for sure. I found it pretty tiring, hard to stay awake through mostly because there wasn't much to the story or the secondary people. I DID enjoy Bob Hoskins and Sally Hawkins, but the story wasn't more than what is said below, so it was quite the disappointment. Maybe I was expecting too much so the film appeared even more flat than it was. Whatever, if you watch this, I'd put on the subtitles (it's tough to understand the accent) and be wide awake, because I think it will challenge the eyelids.
I'd rate it 2.5 stars
