Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by John GillSilkwood's "ordinariness" protects her from being labelled a wild-eyed Trot, but that should not be allowed to obscure her courage or the whitewash ladled onto her story after her death.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThat could have been a good movie, but predictable. Mike Nichols' Silkwood is not predictable.... We realize this is a lot more movie than perhaps we were expecting.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrLittle remains in this true-life story of a nuclear worker's mysterious death other than some prefab antinuke, profeminist rhetoric - soft-pedaled, thankfully, but still strong enough to testify to the basic smugness of the project.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 8/10 by Jay ScottSilkwood is a very moving work about the raising of the consciousness of one woman of independence, guts and sensitivity.
New York Times - 8/10 by Vincent CanbyFor most of its running time it is so convincing -- and so sure of itself -- that it seems a particular waste when it goes dangerously wrong.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Lorien HaynesIt's a thought-provoking film that asks questions about the safety of the nuclear power industry that are still pertinent.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenWonderful performances steal the show in this film based on the real life of Karen Silkwood, a worker in a plutonium factory in Oklahoma, whose health and safety concerns prompt her public exposure of the company's practices which, in turn, lead to dire personal consequences.
Nick's Flick Picks - 7/10 by Nick DavisSilkwood achieves impressive credentials as a drama of human character, not just as a screed against intolerable public practice.
Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Duane ByrgeExtraordinary portrayals of everyday people characterize the contribution of director Mike Nichols' talented diverse cast. Once again, Nichols justifies his past plaudits for bringing the best out of his players.
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by David SterrittDespite the drawbacks of the Silkwood screenplay, written by Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen, this is a directorial triumph for a filmmaker who has artistically matured during his absence from the screen these past several years.
