This is a wonderful story of the first sexual harrassment class action suit in the US. Charlize Theron provides a fine performance, but the reason the film is a winner is because of the whole package. The story is believable - she struggles against opponents and potential allies, plus I appreciate the omission of the obligitory love scene. The acting is nuanced - Woody Harrelson provides some wonderful moments, plus we get to see the always rockin' Frances McDormand (check her out in Laurel Canyon!). There's something for everyone in this film.
