About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an uplifting, human-scale story about ordinary workers taking on unfairness, with humor and emotion alongside the struggle; Not for you if you need nonstop tension or subtle messaging—similar to Calendar Girls and Battle of the Sexes.
Pros: inspiring true-story energy; strong ensemble performances; warm humor and heart | Cons: formulaic at times; some thin subplots; not very thrilling
