America the beautiful
The lives of working class Americans are shamefully under-represented by Hollywood, and when a poor person is depicted (as something other than a criminal), it’s almost always with the subtext of hope and the American dream. But hope isn’t what drives someone, like the real-life Karen Silkwood, to risk her life working with plutonium for the only employer in a company town. Silkwood didn’t find hope, but she did get scared, and angry, and put her job (and those of her colleagues) at stake to uncover dangerous practices before dying a mysterious death. ‘Silkwood’ the movie doesn’t give us the glib conclusions of a conspiracy thriller (it refrains from giving an opinion on her cause of death), but it does give an excellent portrait of life at the bottom, and the mounting sense of claustrophobia and paranoia that accompanied Karen’s perilous voyage of discovery. Meryl Streep does an excellent job in the title role, portraying a woman gradually losing her sanity, and the whole cast is good, even Cher in an unglamorous role. In conclusion, this is a serious and important film; and a reminder for the fortunate how hard, and ugly, life can be, even in the “land of the free”.

A well crafted, well acted film, well cast, and expertly performed.
I’ve seen lukewarm reviews of this film, which, to my mind, is damming with faint praise. It is one of my favorite films, with outstanding performances by all the leads, including what I thought was an Oscar worthy effort by Cher, in this early outing. Streep proves herself again as a chameleon who can believably inhabit virtually any character. So far she hasn’t matched Glenn Close’s turn as a man, but I have no doubt that she could pull it off, although I hope she doesn’t try. Cher, I thought, in this film was a revelation. And how ironic that both she and Streep were nominated as best actress only four years later, when Cher took home the top prize, and among others thanked Streep in the audience, who threw her a kiss. I liked Silkwood a lot, with it’s heartfelt performances, and music score. Kurt Russell also turned in one of his best performances in support. I think you would like it too.
