North Country could have easily been a righteous and preachy movie or a corny feel good movie about women's victory over the Man. But, thankfully, its more sober than these approaches and instead gives us a heroine who is unsure of herself, flawed and even unwilling to defend herself at times. The cast is great, giving great roles to actors normally trapped by typecasting: especially Woody Harrelson and Sean Bean. But at times the movie is too gloomy and too dark to the point of being somewhat emotionally dead. On the other hand I loved how the movie also worked as look into an American town.
The included documentary is fairly boring.
