IHBM6Not bad
A romantic drama set during the politically charged early 60s where a sophisticated woman returns to her Southern home town and discovers her options are limited yet discrimination is plentiful. With the help of a Congressional ally, she inspires historic legislation which allows opportunities and protections never before afforded to women.
My review · Reviewed 01/21/2023
Its hard to say bad things about movies that are depicting real-life events. This is especially true when said events reflect important achievements in providing equal rights to people who did not have them. The first half of the movie does a pretty good job at setting the stage by introducing us to a variety of people from different backgrounds. The end of the movie takes what could have been a very serious and in-depth examination of the issues and cleans it up in such a way that would make an after-school special blush. The whole thing was just... odd.
