REVIEW: Sally Hawkins Strikes in Semi-Rousing Made in Dagenham

Posted on November 18, 2010 by | Comments Off

A substantial slice of socio-history cut with plain yogurt and a glob of treacle, then pulse-puréed to a smooth, hyper-digestible consistency, Made in Dagenham tastes how I imagine a feminist placebo might. The true story (an account of British woman machinists who strike for equal pay in 1968) and the star (the ineffable Sally Hawkins) are bound up in director Nigel Cole’s recipe for a film that’s passable in every available way.

Real Housewives of D.C. White House crasher (and Movieline interview subject ) Michaele Salahi appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and announced she’s been battling multiple sclerosis for 17 years. Alongside her husband Tareq, Salahi explained why she only opened up about the illness now: “No one wants to be seen as sickly… And I didn’t want to be pitied.” I imagine this quote will fend off worldwide Salahi pity for, oh, ten minutes.

The last day of a festival stay is always a time of reckoning. You may have seen a lot. But how much did you miss?
