when that communist boy you have a crush on invites you to a party meeting and you just love to go to parties <333
Joey King works painting clock dials,
But is forced to take them to trial.
Radium gets people sick,
The courts aren't quick,
Because justice takes quite a while.
This movie was 80% old timey b roll footage montages. I lost all respect when they started inserting the characters into the old footage, it added nothing and looked TERRIBLE. This seriously felt like a student film/ high school play which is unfortunate because this has so much potential. Also Joey King shouldn’t be in period pieces she looks like she’s definitely used the dog filter on Snapchat.
This movie could’ve been so good. It’s such an interesting part of US history that is not talked about enough; However, poor production makes this film cringey and difficult to get through.
“What if he wants to... do it? ...What if he tries to talk to me about politics?”
Joey King and Abby Quinn play sisters Bessie and Josephine, who avenge their sisters death due to radium poisoning. I have to be careful; I'm making this film sound way better than it actually was. The film had the worst pacing. I nearly turned it off! Their father is obnoxious and the directing was just very stagnant. I know for a fact that Joey King has more energy than this. Just see The Act!
Vegan alert:
Coats look like they're made out of fur and wool
if ur gonna use that much real life stock footage from the 20’s, just make a documentary
We watched this at the cast party after Radium Girls, the play. We slayed harder.
Still sucks ass tho
35 minutes for this was 30 minutes more than it took to tell the play is far superior. This is honestly a disgrace to the names of the girls that truly endured these hardships. But the worst crime of all is Joey King. Her agent deserves better.
