A dramatisation of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant in London, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination. Made infamous by the strikers' banner, which read "We want sexual equality" but only unfurled enough to read "We want sex", much to the mirth of passing motorists.
Stars a cast of fantastic Brit thespians including Happy-Go-Lucky's Sally Hawkins, Miranda Richardson and Bob Hoskins. From the director of Calendar Girls.

The Age"An art-house crowd-pleaser -- a piece of topical toffee that's entertaining, well cast, and predictable every step of the way."

Boston Globe
Boston Globe"One of those gang-of-gals movies full of bicycles, reggae songs, underwear shots and scenes of emotional growth."

Salon"With a few exceptions, the inspiration feels solid and earned, not saccharine and contrived."

The Globe and Mail
The Globe and Mail"It’s jolly stuff, yet for all the bawdy banter, there’s a Boat That Rocked-like sense of a genuinely interesting moment being regurgitated as a cuddly sitcom."

Total Film
Total Film"It's uncomplicated fare, overly spiced with 60s cliches, right down to the louche fashion photographer who lies on his back to snap his pics. But the film is also robust, amiable and so warm-hearted you'd be a churl to take against it. Hawkins gives a winning performance as the working-class sparrow who grows slowly in stature."
