Charlize Theron is neither over-the-top or any less than ideal in this rough but moving sexual harassment drama. The real issue is how the exceptional talent is alined with the undersupply of the courtroom sequences this movie really seemed to assure. North Country follows Josey Aimes, a mother who experiences ranges of sexual harassment perpetrated by her male co-workers when she begins working in a mine.
This movie is simply never boring, despite the fact that some of the content wasn't totally necessary and could've been cut from it. There are probably too many demonstrations of it to suit as perfect, but the story clearly portrays Theron as a woman dealing with the sexist issues at work and also having trouble with her relationships with her kids and parents. She's pretty convincing throughout all of this, and she's not hysterical for the whole 2 hours.
Again, this movie could really use some more lengthy scenes in court and it should depict the courtroom action in a more lifelike fashion. Throughout the film, there's very short popups of the court sequences, but it's mostly saved towards the end. It could've chosen to cleverly jump back and forth between the previous plot themes and the court sequence, but it just doesn't. Anyway, that doesn't stop it from being a fine viewing. It's moving story of justice for sexual harassment in the workplace and the power men beheld.
