A Pretty Woman's Civil Action

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2000)

Erin Brockovich is an incredibly up beat and rewarding film. The political content is important, and Julia's star personna does not distract from the real-life pains of the people that she is fighting for. The direction manages to keep an element of documentary style without being too heavy, and the colours used are great. This films tells the story in an engaging way without distracting the audience by the style or direction or the star in it. Greatest respect to Julia Roberts for a strong performance which never distracts from the central story that big business is willing to sacrifice people for profits.
