Excellent adaptation of the story of a woman who initiated a class action taken by a group of women miners in the US - based on a true story. Should be compulsory viewing for all the women who have forgotten the battles fought for equality and for those union people who still have a problem getting their minds around the idea of sexual harrassement.
Bleak, well acted!

A little 'made for TV' but very well acted, this bleak but honest telling of the struggle for equal rights is well worht a watch but isn't for everybody. It can be a little slow but is quiet amazing in that the story relates to a time in the late 80's/early 90's - a time I thought these issue would not have existed.
Top marks

You can see why Charlize got the plaudits for this again she demonstrates how comfortable she is with any role and goes from strength to strength. The downtrodden battler that she plays so well in this film makes this so well worth a watch.
Solid.

Good drama with Theron delivering another strong role that displays her versatility as an actress. Well put together and compelling tale of the first sexual harassment lawsuit in the US. Good drama and recommended.
Excellent

Moving drama about sexual harassment and gender based violence in a small community. Gripping. Charlize is outstanding. Great Extras on dvd too from the women behind the true story!
