SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED：

With the Academy’s sizable British voting bloc having often made their presence felt even in the days of five nominees — hello, “Atonement” — the odds do favor at least one British film making the cut in most years. Many see Mike Leigh’s “Another Year” as the prime candidate for that hypothetical slot this year, and it’s certainly a worthy one, but it remains a tough sell in many respects: a quiet, sometimes despairing essay on middle-aged loneliness unlikely to register beyond a rarefied arthouse audience.

The Daily Telegraph’s David Gritten writes that an early screening bore out the “next‘Full Monty’”buzz:
At a recent early screening in London, the consensus was that Made in Dagenham effectively covered all the emotional bases, from comedy to melancholy. It looks a sure-fire hit. Ironically, the recently abolished UK Film Council helped with financing — and producer Stephen Woolley went out of his way to thank the UKFC when he presented the screening.

The point about the UKFC isn’t an irrelevant one. There is much ill feeling lingering in the British film industry following the Conservative government’s decision to axe the longstanding film funding body. (It’s not just the Brits, actually: Clint Eastwood has joined the protesters.) As two of the last films to benefit from the Council’s involvement, it’s not hard to imagine that kind of protective sentiment extending to both “Another Year” and “Made in Dagenham,” not to mention the Weinsteins’ awards vehicle “The King’s Speech.” BAFTA voters could find themselves particularly sympathetic on that basis.

IMDB上看过试映的人的评论，很不乐观啊
and I'm afraid I've not got many complimentary things to say about Made In Dagenham. It was a highly-filtered, 'black-and-white' view of the campaign, that all smacked of afternoon TV dumbing down and cheap emotional box-ticking. To be honest, I felt rather patronised, also sad that some of the actors were wasting their performances on something so tacky.
What I did like: Bob Hoskins, the man lights up everything he's in. Miranda Richardson's sympathetic Barbara Castle. Some reasonably 'big' actors used sparingly to good effect: Rupert Graves, Richard Schiff, Rosamund Pike, Kenneth Cranham.
But overall, I'd give it 4/10.
