Don't listen to the negative reviews
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The story is simple and maybe classic: a country-town, workers and an american factory that is going to be closed, workers and town-mates fight to evade it. The plot doesn't matter because in the center of all we have the life, the real life, not the retoric and fake one but the life lived. Friendship, love, cooperation are the protagonists, people are protagonists, character are not. It is a real story, not a real movie story. There aren't heros either particular dramatic moment. The event can make everything tragic but the movie remain something similar to a comedy.
