Being left alone with three children in a home where bailiffs were knocking at the door and the refrigerator contained nothing but stale bread... That was exactly what life was like for Erin. As she stepped into that law firm in hopes of finding a job, she was still unaware that she would be tracking down the truth while getting lost among the dusty files that no one bothered to look at. Instead of a suspense-filled revenge story, Steven Soderbergh centers the film on a massive legal battle that grows out of the tenacious steps of an ordinary woman. We bear witness to how crimes that are often swept under the rug—such as environmental pollution and corporate negligence—are brought to light by a mother’s determination. There’s no need for flowery language; this film is the very embodiment of the silent yet devastating rebellion mounted by those doomed to lose, right from their desks.
