Radium Girls Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Little attention is paid to the vernacular or physicality of the period. The depths of emotions aren't plumbed...
Screen Queens
Daisy Leigh-Phippard
The script, penned by Mohler and Brittany Shaw, doesnt reach the excitement of a court drama and honestly lacks tension throughout, but the film is salvaged by the performances of its leads and supporting cast.
AWFJ.org
MaryAnn Johanson
I do really like the sense of how 'modern' the world depicted here feels, even if it was a century ago. It cements the feeling that the story remains incredibly relevant today.
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
Radium Girls is consistently compelling, and often quite inventive.
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
The sisters' quest for justice makes for a stirring, relatable story...
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
An underdog battling a callous corporation that knowingly poisoned citizens, Radium Girls is a movie in the spirit of Erin Brockovich and A Civil Action. It takes place during the Jazz Age, but holds haunting relevance for today.
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
Radium Girls is rare in that very few American movies have been made about the early 20th century struggles of female (or male) workers.
Decider
John Serba
Didn't cure my ennui.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
The production is so threadbare that it feels like the actors are playing actors and this is the movie-in-a-movie they're making.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
Features solid performances by the cast as first-time feature directors Pilcher and Mohler blend fact with fictional characters to bring the enlightening story to the screen.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Martha K. Baker
These stories must be told even today because a Geiger counter, waved over the grave of a radium girl, clicks for 1,000 years.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
While this was very well-meaning and intrinsically interesting, I found the performances a bit pallid.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
It's pretty easy to watch this film and roll my eyes at it, but I would give this film to the young girls in my life.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Inspiring real-life labor drama has intense moments.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
True story of women who fought back when they learned they had been exposed to toxins on the job.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Some things, it seems, never change, and even though "Radium Girls" struggles to deliver that message with as fine a point as it should, it's worth remembering.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
The film aims for inspirational true story, but is sadly uninspired, and its relationship to real history is obscured by the schematic way it is fictionalized.
RogerEbert.com
Roxana Hadadi
The anger inspired by what happened to these women is invigorating, but that fury is rarely felt from what Radium Girls offers as a cinematic experience.
New York Times
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Directors Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler reveal a little-known part of history with a loudly beating feminist heart and a narrative grounded in reality.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Although its low-budget cinematic execution feels a bit lacking at times, the film fulfills a vital function with its dramatization of an important chapter in America's history of labor reform.
