The quartet emphasized the accessibility of the event, which offered free admission, alleviating the expenses associated with costly tickets, attire, and other costs associated with a traditional prom. We as women need to be reminded that women before us suffered and fought for what we take for granted today.It was a “chance to relive the formative times with the happiness that we should’ve had, and in a space safe for true self-expression,” said Jamie, who attended with friends, Clay, Eddie and Luca. Movies about rape and abuse are never easy to watch, but North Country is such an important story to hear. While the entire cast is perfect, I believe the Best Supporting Actress Nomination must go to Frances McDormand who injects some much-needed comic relief into this bleak-but-brave story. After that, I was sobbing on and off for the entire duration of the film.
I was finally pushed over the "tears threshold" when Josey's dad stands up at the miners' union meeting and defends his daughter for the first time in her life. After being physically attacked and threatened, Josey quits and starts to fight back by suing the company for sexual harassment. They are physically, verbally, mentally, and sexually abused on a daily basis. She and her female co-workers are reminded every day how unwanted and unwelcome they are at the mine. Josey takes a job at the local mine because it's the best paying job she can find, and she's determined to give her kids a comfortable life. Almost immediately, we learn that this is a woman who has been judged, criticized, and ostracized and called a "whore" ever since she became pregnant in high school. Charlize Theron plays Josey Aimes, a young mother who leaves her abusive husband and returns to her hometown to start a new life and support herself and her two kids. But that's what makes North Country so extraordinary.
This is the kind of drama that breaks your heart over and over again without a moment to recover.
