They softball every aspect of the story. I read the book the first time 2 years ago and have been waiting to see the movie since then.
They do not depict the destruction radium wrought upon the bodies and lives of these girls. All they show is bruised faces. All they mention is glowing bones and lost teeth.
The court battle that took ages and saw the passing of many girls before it was settled, is depicted quickly, with no insight into the fight these girls had to go through just to get someone to listen to them.
This is a story of suffering, death, and horrific events, and a long, drawn out legal battle. None of this is depicted in the film. This was a hallmark film, not a true depiction.
