North Country Ratings & Reviews
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Though the dirt and grime in North Country are artfully applied, it's purely cosmetic and skin-deep.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
What gives North Country urgency is that it's about how a man comes to understand that it's bad for him and for his community to deny his daughter privileges and prerogatives he'd grant his son.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
North Country delivers an emotional wallop and a couple of performances worthy of recognition come award time.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
North Country does a good job in ratcheting up the tension and unfairness until the audience is brought to the breaking point.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
She's [Caro] got a good story to tell (based, loosely, on a real-life case), and a marvelous cast to help her tell it.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
In the end, the no-nonsense direction by Caro (the New Zealander who directed Whale Rider), the terrific actors and the pitiless visuals by the great Menges more than carry the day.
Detroit News
Tom Long
In overdoing the theatrics and hammering the clichs North Country does artistic injustice to its own important argument.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
North Country may be a simplistic account of a hard-won battle, but it will have audiences cheering.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
There's nothing cool or dispassionate anywhere in this film. It radiates waves of heat.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Theron digs into the character, unafraid to make her blemishes every bit as apparent as her virtues. It's as good a performance as a person has given all year, ample proof the stunningly beautiful South African's Academy Award wasn't a fluke.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
North Country is in the tradition of workers-rights films like Norma Rae and Silkwood in that it sends its message through a convincing character whose temerity and courage are accompanied by less heroic baggage.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Frances McDormand, as the lone female union rep, and Richard Jenkins, as Josie's angry miner dad, cut through the predictability.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
You cannot help being stirred by the reach and depth, the constant rebuffs to sloppiness, of a strong ensemble.
Observer
Rex Reed
It's a memorable and touching portrayal of a certain kind of woman who is vital and determined instead of neurotic and victimized.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
North Country is a relentlessly discomforting movie. Nowhere does it let you settle into the lush cushions of a typical Hollywood entertainment
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Charlize Theron, in nonglam mode, dominates this powerful drama about sexual harassment at a Minnesota iron mine in the early 90s.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
North Country is one of those movies that stir you up and make you mad, because it dramatizes practices you've heard about but never really visualized.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
If you want to see good performances and cinematography wasted in a mediocre movie, that would be North Country.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It infuriated me. It broke my heart. It convinced me that Caro, who's from New Zealand, is a strong, clear-voiced filmmaker, who can bend courtroom cliches to her will.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Theron has once again deglamorized herself for a meaty dramatic role, and she gives a persuasive performance that surely will not be overlooked during the coming award season.
