...because Josey can't convince anyone to join her. (Later it turns into a class-action suit.)Just saw it and it worked for me too. I was willing to pay the price of admission--only $6 for this old guy--just to see Charlize. WOW does she look good in coveralls, hardhat and dirty face! But it turned into a quite-effective story.
The supporting actors are excellent. Woody Harrelson plays her attorney; Francis McDormand her long-time friend, fellow employee and union steward; Sean Bean, the hugely-evil Irish terrorist in 'Patriot Games', McDormand's husband; Sissy Spacek and Richard Jenkins her parents; the gorgeous Michelle Monaghan a fellow abused employee.
I'm rather conservative myself but felt not-at-all abused by Hollywood. No persons should be subject to the working conditions those women had to tolerate, altho I'm sure Hollywood exagerated them just as movies exagerate almost everything.
