MY REVIEW

wow—this movie hit hard. It’s one of those stories that makes you angry in the best way, as it follows young women in the 1920s who were unknowingly poisoning themselves while painting watch dials with radium. Watching the main character, played by Joey King, transform from a naive factory girl to a fierce activist was so inspiring, but also frustrating because you see how much they had to fight just to be believed. The film has this eerie, dreamlike quality that contrasts so well with the harsh reality of what happened, and it left me thinking about corporate greed and women’s rights long after the credits rolled. Definitely worth a watch if you love historical dramas that make you feel something.
