Radium Girls (2018)
7/10
by all means...
16 December 2020
Its a historical drama of factual happenings, though its a bit dulled and dragged out. its a film about workers occupational safety, and as this was not the first case, it became the most important in form of changes, amount of compensation, and a wake up call to the common citizen that things that we surrounds us with maybe harmful and lethal. lead is another stroven issue of the topic, as painters and dental assistants had a death statistic that are miles above the average. i once had a patient where the lead in the paint he used in his daily work, litterally ate out/away his brain tissue, and the result was severe dementia, and eventually paralysis and death. symptomatology like syphilis here too, but it was eventually proven not to be.

production wise its cool with the vintage filmclips in between, and the production design are good. acting on average. i think the makeup artists couldve been far more cruel visually, cause the workers looks no more than redfeverish and mumpsy in their faces. our beloved film reviewer roger ebert(r.i.p.) had some jaw issues due to other reasons, but thats how the worst case scenario should have been illustrated.

so if your afaraid of the dangers of occupational hazards in your workplace, then rise up and tell about it. it may serve as a lifesaver to many... a recommended film to view thinks the dizzy grumpy old man after a nightshift rubbing my hands and arms with 80% alcohol 150 times pr watch, how does my epidermis and liver react to that...?
