Made in Dagenham hit the screen and shows that a not-exceedingly-mega- budget film can be the best of the year.
The factually based story of how the Dagenham women brought Ford to a standstill makes for surprising film material.But it works .The film is authentic to the late 60s down to the tea cups and kitchen cabinets , the clothes and make up.
Miranda Richardson as Barbara Castle steals the film,Bob Hoskins,Geraldine James are all excellent in their roles.
Stay in for the credits though, that part of it had me reaching for the tissues .
This is a film which will have you shaking with anger one minute and crying the next.Highly recommended.
