Gripping.

Rating: 4/4 --
Silkwood 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.

Chicago Sun-Times
The 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.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A top notch cast, and a strong, Oscar nominated script by Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen, keep Silkwood from sliding into cliche 'Lifetime movie of the week' territory.

From the Front Row
Despite the recent headlines, there will be many people whose only source of Silkwood's story will be this film. They should receive more than the drama of one rash woman's death, no matter how artistically presented.
