North Country movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Despite its serious subject matter, North Country is a crowd-pleaser at heart. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: She's [Caro] got a good story to tell (based, loosely, on a real-life case), and a marvelous cast to help her tell it. Read more
Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune: While the film showcases moments of enormous power, there is something missing; perhaps it's subtlety, or perhaps it's the emotional connection the movie so desperately wants to make, but in the end, can't quite achieve. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Amazingly powerful. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: North Country is the most riled-up movie of the year. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: North Country is a "message movie" with a target so big that it's impossible to miss, which is part of the trouble. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It infuriated me. It broke my heart. It convinced me that Caro, who's from New Zealand, is a strong, clear-voiced filmmaker, who can bend courtroom cliches to her will. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Studio filmmaking can make an event as fantastical as an alien invasion look like reality, and it can make something that actually took place feel as fake as crocodile tears. Which is what happens with North Country. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: There's nothing cool or dispassionate anywhere in this film. It radiates waves of heat. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: If you want to see good performances and cinematography wasted in a mediocre movie, that would be North Country. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Overall North Country is too self-consciously scaled as an anthem for the human spirit. We can spot where this movie is headed right from the beginning. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: North Country is a relentlessly discomforting movie. Nowhere does it let you settle into the lush cushions of a typical Hollywood entertainment Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: North Country packs a solid familiar punch. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Even when the film borders on melodrama in its final courtroom confrontations, Ms. Caro navigates the camera with skill. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: I'm even willing to forgive this rousing drama its coy, flirty ending, if only because its heroine has the grace not to drive her pickup truck off a cliff. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: This is nuance-free moviemaking, a drama about mine-workers with barely a glimpse of what the work entails. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Theron's truly raw and impassioned performance as Josey - - can't save the film from its own gradually slowing pace and seriously compromised third act. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: North Country may be a simplistic account of a hard-won battle, but it will have audiences cheering. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: A wobbly fiction about a real pioneering sex-discrimination case, North Country is an unabashed vehicle for its modestly de-glammed star, Charlize Theron. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Niki Caro, director of Whale Rider, has made a classic underdog-vs.-the-system story, rendered in the harsh blue-grays of a Minnesota winter. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: North Country does what it sets out to do: inspire and uplift. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: North Country is one of those movies that stir you up and make you mad, because it dramatizes practices you've heard about but never really visualized. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: People in the film biz have been calling this one Erin Brockovich Goes to Fargo all along, but that isn't quite fair. It's Norma Rae Goes to Fargo. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: North Country delivers an emotional wallop and a couple of performances worthy of recognition come award time. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Caro knows how to push viewers' buttons, and she does so every chance she gets. The weather in the movie might be chilly, but she makes sure our blood is boiling. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: For all North Country's blockbuster elements, the film remains a curiously uninvolving affair. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: If there was ever any thought that perhaps Whale Rider was a fluke, North Country should erase all doubt. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: At its best, North Country conveys what it's like to be a small-town social pariah and to fear for yourself in the workplace. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: Given the battle's enormous toll on the women's physical and psychological health, it's a perplexing irony that the movie 'inspired by' the case suffers such a bizarre failure of nerve. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: North Country does a good job in ratcheting up the tension and unfairness until the audience is brought to the breaking point. Read more
