1420 - Made in Dagenham


This if the kind of film where, if you don't find yourself cheering the characters on, then you probably don't have much of an intact heart. Revolving around women in the UK trying to get equal pay to men the film keeps a pretty good balance and rarely dips into melodrama for effect - just one side story does. This film is just packed with some great lines, and some wonderful performances including Bob Hoskins who I adore here. The real star of this film, however, is Sally Hawkins. Some of you know of her already, but the rest of you will soon. She should be nominated for this film. She deserves it. This is the kind of film that I think is going to reach a lot of people. I think that the audience for this film is large and it deserves to find it. Easily recommended.
