North Country

ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO MAKE A LIVING. INSTEAD SHE MADE HISTORY.

northcountryIn 1989, Josey Aimes (Charlize Theron) becomes one of few women to work in Northern Minnesotaā€™s iron mines, but she finds herself unable to put up with the sexual harassment. Loosely based on a real-life landmark case, it is a film with good location flavor, a sympathetic subject matter and effective performances. The story is gripping enough, but it is also a bit too simple-minded. Its black-and-white approach renders the attempts at complicating matters unconvincing. Still, it is easy to get manipulated by the story and in that sense, Niki Caroā€™s film is a triumph.
