Made in Dagenham

"The unexpected thing about Made in Dagenham is how entertaining it is."

"While the political grit behind the saga is somewhat sidelined, this is a fun watch enhanced by its stellar British cast."

"Made in Dagenham is a splendidly made feel-good film that pulses with an infectious positive energy..."

"An art-house crowd-pleaser -- a piece of topical toffee that's entertaining, well cast, and predictable every step of the way."

"One of those gang-of-gals movies full of bicycles, reggae songs, underwear shots and scenes of emotional growth."

"With a few exceptions, the inspiration feels solid and earned, not saccharine and contrived."

"It’s jolly stuff, yet for all the bawdy banter, there’s a Boat That Rocked-like sense of a genuinely interesting moment being regurgitated as a cuddly sitcom."

"It's uncomplicated fare, overly spiced with 60s cliches, right down to the louche fashion photographer who lies on his back to snap his pics. But the film is also robust, amiable and so warm-hearted you'd be a churl to take against it. Hawkins gives a winning performance as the working-class sparrow who grows slowly in stature."

"While the political grit behind the saga is somewhat sidelined, this is a fun watch enhanced by its stellar British cast."

"In 1968, the Ford factory in Dagenham, East London, was brought to grinding halt by a strike by the staff of the upholstery shop."
