Movie Reviews of North Country (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: 5.21.09North Country review
Summary: 4 Stars

5.21.09 I was looking for a story that displys an individual's resolve to fight for respect at the workplace. Seeing your fellow workers and corporation bosses ANSWER HONESTLY is rare. Perhaps confrontation by courts and monetary compensation is a country's reluctant way of saying, " I 'm not wrong. This court's forcing me to change my ways. We don't need no camera's tape recorders, blogs, etc. If you don't like it then , you leave.
Is this the repeat of a power as large a church saying, ~there is no problem of our fault? The Minnesota , North Country mining case lasted ? 7 years. Pride and truth, a different value than gold.

Summary of North Country (Widescreen Edition)

When Josey Aimes (Academy Award winner CHARLIZE THERON) returns to her hometown in Northern Minnesota after a failed marriage, she needs a good job. A single mother with two children to support, she turns to the predominant source of employment in the region - the iron mines. The mines provide a livelihood that has sustained a community for generations. The work is hard but the pay is good and friendships that form on the job extend into everyday life, bonding families and neighborhoods with a common thread.

DVD Features:
Deleted Scenes
Documentaries

A sterling cast and vivid direction give North Country an emotional heft to match its political convictions. Charlize Theron (Monster) plays Josey Aimes, who goes to work at a Minnesota steel mine after splitting with her violent husband.

Frances McDormand and Charlize
Theron in North Country.
But the job proves to be almost as harrowing as her marriage; the male miners, resentful of women taking jobs, verbally abuse and play humiliating pranks on the female miners. After being physically assaulted by a coworker, Josey tries to fight against the harassment, but none of the other women will join her case for fear that things will only get worse. North Country, directed by Niki Caro (Whale Rider), makes the women's experience palpable for the audience without overdoing it. But the lawsuit is only part of the movie; the gut impact of North Country comes from the devastating effect the lawsuit has on Josey's family, friends, and coworkers--thanks to an incredible ensemble cast that includes Sissy Spacek (In the Bedroom), Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under), Woody Harrelson (The People vs. Larry Flynt), and the always powerful Frances McDormand (Fargo, Mississippi Burning). The courtroom histrionics don't always ring true, but the family conflict is riveting and deeply moving. Based on the book Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law. --Bret Fetzer
