A spirited look -- well written, beautifully acted, full of uplift -- at lovably cheeky heroines on the march for a little respect.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

It's a nice breather indeed.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

It's an entertaining, humanist slice of social history scored with a soundtrack of upbeat late-'60s radio hits.

The likable little British import "Made in Dagenham" delivers an overdue valentine to some unsung heroines of the people-power revolution.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
