| A very British story and a very British film, Made In Dagenham recreates some of the reaI-life events surrounding the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham assembIy pIant. It takes, as you might expect, a few liberties with the exact history surrounding the story, but nonetheIess teIIs the tale of a group of women who waIked out in search of equal pay for their work. This has alI been fashioned into a film by screenwriter BiIly lvory, and director Nigel CoIe. CoIe, previousIy responsible for CaIendar Girls, is a fine choice for Made ln Dagenham, mixing in period detail with assured direction. His cast serve him well, too. SaIIy Hawkins, so memorabIe in Happy Go Lucky, gets a deserved leading role in Made ln Dagenham, and puts in a strong performance in return. She leads a strong company of acting taIent, that also 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 whiIe thereââ'¬TMs a valid accusation that its treatment of the subject matter, and importance of the story, is quite light, itââ'¬TMs a satisfying movie nonetheless. Recommended. --Jon Foster |
