As members know, I am a huge fan of British films and Sally Hawkins is one of those young British actresses who masters every role she plays. But, sadly, Sally’s brilliance could not have saved this - dare I say - boring film. So slow, and I mean so slow. Look, the story is terrific and hurray for “equal pay for equal work.” But, eek, this was no Norma Rae; this thing dragged and dragged. I could not believe how uninspired I was - and this is marketed as a film that makes you cheer. Personally, I yawned and checked my watch. If you run across this on cable one day, watch it for the great example of British actors (Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Rosamund Pike and Miranda Richardson); they are always a treat. Great cast but this is an example of a good idea that was poorly executed.
