This movie tells the story of a woman who fights against discrimination and harassment while working in a mine. It’s a story worth telling, and for the most part, it’s very well told.
I didn’t like two aspects of the film. First, the ending is simply atrocious. There’s no excuse for it. Second, it never tells the male half of the tale: why did most men harass the women, and why some didn’t.
In the end, I’m recommending it because of the engaging story and because it’s very competently told. There are many things in this film for fans of the art to enjoy.
Rating: Very Good.
