I like your review, arsaib. It's an important story and there is some strong acting by Theron and others, but the screenplay is a bit simplistic in representing the initial mine situation, e.g., it should plant at least a few positive elements (or moments) among the male coworkers and their behavior prior to the trial, to make the general reversal and support of Josey's case toward the end more credible. First everybody hates her, then all of a sudden they finally stand up for her. Whale Rider may show that Caro likes to make things simple, though she moves away from the feel-good on this one.
