Made In Dagenham

I went to see this today and really enjoyed it. It looks at the strike at Ford's in the 1960.s / 70's that led eventually to equal pay legislation. Poltical but certainly not overly political ( made by the same team that did calander girls, bit of a similar feel at points), got a rather dodgy Harold Wilsone and Miranda Richardson is brill as Barbara Castle ( once you get past thinking of her as the mad queen in Alice in Wonderland that is!!) - it met most of my criteria for an enjoyable Friday afternoon film - 2hrs 10 mins but felt shorter, enough to make you think but not too much, even bought a little tear to the eye at one point - well worth watching IMO
