Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ben Kingsley, Barbara Sukowa, Christopher Briney, Rupert Graves, Alexander Beyer, Andreja Pejic, Suki Waterhouse, Ezra Miller, Avital Lvova, Mark McKenna, Zachary Nachbar-Seckel Writer: John C. Walsh Director: Mary Harron Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: June 9, 2023 Most of DALILAND is set in 1974, and the film has a very ‘70s pop feel. It’s glossy, fun to look at, and full of gossip, but also short on substance.

With all of the arguments today about labor unions, MADE IN DAGENHAM is certainly timely. The film, directed by Nigel Close and written by William Ivory, concerns the real strike that occurred in 1968 at the Ford auto factory in Dagenham, England, when a one-day walkout by the plant’s 187 female workers over their designation as “unskilled” workers (and the commensurate lower wages, vs. the 50,000 skilled males then employed there) turned into a full-on strike for equal pay for equal work.
