- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite the stylistic glitches, Radium Girls proves engrossing, thanks to its powerful real-life tale and the excellent performances by leads King and Quinn, who make us fully care about their characters' fates.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreWell-acted, smartly-reported and heartfelt.
- 60The New York TimesKristen Yoonsoo KimThe New York TimesKristen Yoonsoo KimThe script, by Mohler and Brittany Shaw, tends to be overtly formulaic, but the emotional resonance of the two leads carries this movie.
- 50Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaLos Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaLittle attention is paid to the vernacular or physicality of the period. The depths of emotions aren’t plumbed.
- 50VarietyJessica KiangVarietyJessica KiangScrupulously sincere in its approach and well-meaning to a fault in intention, the film aims for inspirational true story, but is sadly uninspired, and its relationship to real history is obscured by the schematic way it is fictionalized.
- 38RogerEbert.comRoxana HadadiRogerEbert.comRoxana HadadiRadium Girls is bogged down by a trite script, inconsistent character motivations, and an over-reliance on historical footage that has little to do with the film itself. The anger inspired by what happened to these women is invigorating, but that fury is rarely felt from what Radium Girls offers as a cinematic experience.
