...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. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- [I]n the hands of Mike Nichols, and with a truly impressive cast including a top-of-her-game Meryl Streep...this is elevated into top-notch conspiracy territory.

For most of its running time it is so convincing -- and so sure of itself -- that it seems a particular waste when it goes dangerously wrong.
New York Times
May 20, 2003
The facts it can lay its hands on do not support a politically alarming or dramatically compelling conclusion to the mysteries of this case. Nor do they lead to a very uplifting statement about the motives and character of its central figure. Full Review

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. Full Review

...The most serious work [Nichols] has yet done in films....Another stunning performance by Meryl Streep...
