Silkwood is the story of an ordinary woman, hard-working and passionate, funny and screwed-up, who made those people mad simply because she told the truth as she saw it and did what she thought was right.

Chicago Sun-Times
Silkwood's "ordinariness" protects her from being labelled a wild-eyed Trot, but that should not be allowed to obscure her courage or the whitewash ladled onto her story after her death.

Rating: 4/5 --
It's a thought-provoking film that asks questions about the safety of the nuclear power industry that are still pertinent.

A very fine biographical drama.

Variety
The film seems... unconvincing when it tries to argue the case of Silkwood's martyrdom, but it soars magnificently when it confines itself to the drama of one woman's courage in renouncing complacency for action.

...Exquisitely structured and written....[Streep] conveys a fantastic sense of earthiness....Her performance is a thrill to behold...

Rating: C+ --
Seemingly better suited for a documentary.
