Leave your thoughts about Radium Girls.
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite the stylistic glitches, Radium Girls proves engrossing, thanks to its powerful real-life tale and the excellent performances by leads King and Quinn, who make us fully care about their characters' fates. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWell-acted, smartly-reported and heartfelt. |
| The New York TimesKristen Yoonsoo KimThe script, by Mohler and Brittany Shaw, tends to be overtly formulaic, but the emotional resonance of the two leads carries this movie. |
| VarietyJessica KiangScrupulously sincere in its approach and well-meaning to a fault in intention, 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaLittle attention is paid to the vernacular or physicality of the period. The depths of emotions aren’t plumbed. |
| RogerEbert.comRoxana HadadiRadium Girls is bogged down by a trite script, inconsistent character motivations, and an over-reliance on historical footage that has little to do with the film itself. 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. |
