Made in Dagenham

[yogi]

I also went to the Trafford centre, very disappointed. I've tried contacting sff but for some reason the message wouldn't send.

I contacted SFF and have heard nothing back, but just got a reply from Odeon apologising and offering me 2 free passes for any film.

Definitely worth the time to send a polite complaint, still surprised we weren't offered an alternative at the time.

Good luck.

I was at Whitely's, shame there wasn't more people in, I guess the subject matter didn't appeal to some?

Anyway I loved it! I have to say it was one of my fav films in ages. I was 11 then so can't remember the politics but I remember the clothes, beige was big in the 60's and 70's All the detail was amazing even down to silly things like Radio Rentals, cups and saucers, Snowballs (only for christmas and parties)

The cast was fantastic, all the characters were well rounded and gave lovely performance. I do hope this gets the audience it deserved, maybe through word of mouth like Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots. 9/10

Oh and as a bonus on the way out I saw Tom Hollander waiting at the end of the queue. I had to go say hello and told him I loved Rev and hope its coming back. vx

Tom Hollander was attending a free preview of Made in Dagenham???

The recession's really hitting, isn't it? Maybe he's a member of FMUK

I've also complained but not hoping for anything!

Saw this last night. Brilliant, like everyone else thought it was a really good film. Loved Miranda Richardsons portrayal of the fiesty Barbara Castle. 9/10

Saw this last night at the Metrocentre. Nice to see a strong turnout of our friendly NE FMUKers who saved me a seat with them - we took over one side of a whole row of premier seats.

Another very entertaining top-notch film. It was made all the better from knowing that it was largely based on reality, but a genius touch to blend that with some interesting low-level human interest fictional embellishment. Great acting as you would expect from Miranda Richardson and Bob Hoskins but also some very fine performances from the less well known cast members.

Sally Hawkins, who looked awfully familiar to me but I couldn't recall what I'd seen her in previously, absolutely stole the show in my opinion. I loved the way she portrayed the initially nervous and fragile looking Rita who's confidence increased with experience to overcome the adversity and unfairness the women workers were facing.

Keneth Cranham played a good role too as the "in the management's pocket and out for his own ends" unscrupulous Union Official Monty.

Strangely, this is the second film I've seen in as many months that has featured the relatively obscure Desmond Decker and the Aces playing the Israelites. Great to hear some other memorable songs from the 60's too, including a personal favourite of mine - the Kinks' Days.

Also, nice to see all those old (though actually brand new then) anglias, cortinas and capris from my youth. A real trip down motoring memory lane.

A truly great film - so good in fact I'm going to see it again next week (Thanks to PeteYork for getting me the tickets!)

9 out of 10.
