IMDB

Norma Rae is a single mother and a factory worker. She meets a liberal man from New York who has come to unionize the textile factory she works in. He enlists her to help him, which doesn't sit well with the higher ups. While helping fight for the union, she has to juggle her responsibilities as a mother, wife and worker.
This is a really solid movie. This movie is about unionizing, but it's really a character study film about Sally Field's expertly portrayed Norma Rae. I love Sally Field. She's such a great actress and so cute. She carries this film, which is good on its own. Definitely worth a watch.

9/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
