Critic Reviews of "Silkwood"
Hollywood ReporterNovember 23, 2014Extraordinary 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.
TIME MagazineJuly 01, 2011The facts it can lay its hands on do not support a politically alarming or dramatically compelling conclusion to the mysteries of this case. Nor do they lead to a very uplifting statement about the motives and character of its central figure.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Silkwood'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-TimesOctober 23, 2004Silkwood is the story of an ordinary woman, hard-working and passionate, funny and screwed-up, who made those people mad simply because she told the truth as she saw it and did what she thought was right.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003For 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 TimesMarch 04, 2015It's a thought-provoking film that asks questions about the safety of the nuclear power industry that are still pertinent.
People MagazineMarch 04, 2015The film seems... unconvincing when it tries to argue the case of Silkwood's martyrdom, but it soars magnificently when it confines itself to the drama of one woman's courage in renouncing complacency for action.
ColeSmithey.comFebruary 15, 2008Gripping.
EmanuelLevy.ComDecember 13, 2007One of Nichols' best films, Silkwood is effective as factual reportage and portrait of working class life (rare sight in Hollywood cinema), with terrific performances by Meryl Streep, as a new type of American heroine, and Cher, as her lesbian roommate
Nick's Flick PicksAugust 09, 2006Silkwood achieves impressive credentials as a drama of human character, not just as a screed against intolerable public practice.
