Critic Reviews for Made in Bangladesh

All Critics (14) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (14)

The portrait [Hossain] paints, while visually arresting thanks to cinematographer Sabine Lancelin's eye for Dhaka's colorfully saturated and gritty milieu, is a grim one.

Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
While similar, this story feels more urgent as it considers the livelihoods of women in especially precarious positions.

Kathleen Sachs
Chicago Reader
As Shimu's efforts ramp up and appear increasingly futile, "Made in Bangladesh" acquires a quiet power.

Ben Kenigsberg
New York Times
As a look behind that T-shirt you just bought on sale for $9.99 at The Gap, and the human labor, sweat and suffering that went into it, this... definitely deserves wider attention.

Jordan Mintzer
Hollywood Reporter
Rubaiyat Hossain's Made in Bangladesh is interesting for one reason and one reason only: it provides a glimpse of the lives of textile workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh and of the city itself.

An inspiring portrait of a persistent and resilient young woman fighting for workers' rights in a garment factory.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Spirituality & Practice
A gritty, neo-realist story about women fighting patriarchy in the factory and at home. The film is truly inspiring and welcome in a period when things couldn't seem worse.

Makes political points about sweatshops without sacrificing entertainment values.

Made in Bangladesh finds urgency and compassion in its plea for basic human rights for all in the workplace.

Courtney Small
Cinema Axis
"Made in Bangladesh" includes some faults that dull the impact of its main theme somewhat; however, it remains quite a worthy effort that succeeds in highlighting a number of very important aspects of Bangladesh's current society.

Earnest social activist film should remind you of Norma Rae.

Rubaiyat Hossain's third feature film is striking in both theme and technique. Made in Bangladesh is a formal marvel.
