Critic Reviews for Strike (Strajk - Die Heldin von Danzig)
All Critics (15) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (2)
An inspiring tale of a small woman who stands tall in the face of injustice.
It's all a lot closer to melodrama than drama, but Thalbach is a dynamo.
Rough-hewn and modest, stirring but rarely grandiose. This seems fitting, since part of what made Solidarity so inspiring was its gritty, determined refusal of ideological grandstanding or political melodrama.
The script plays fast and loose with the facts and adds soap-operaish touches, but [Katharina] Thalbach is a feisty delight. Strike is no Tin Drum, but her performance makes the melodrama worthwhile.
It has a pumping dynamism that keeps you with it.
This is Iron Curtain porn at its most shameless -- a rousing industrial rock song plays in the background every time [director] Schlöndorff wants to invoke the Spirit of Labor -- but [actress] Thalbach's Agnieszka is irresistible.
Audience Reviews for Strike (Strajk - Die Heldin von Danzig)
Jul 09 - I certainly expect more than a flat, shallow political drama from Schlondorff. It is an incredible story but making things into black and white only antagonizes me as a viewer.
