The camera often blends different photos in the background to indicate that time went by in the movie.

The story line is full of filler scenes and is hard to follow, due to the odd cut scenes, bad dialogue, and no visual perspective (the camera stays zoomed in on faces throughout, with very rare zoomed out scenes). The lead role's personality is so naive it's insufferable.

This movie should've been a documentary about an actual historical event, but the writers turned it into a borderline coming-of-age story about a naive girl turned strong, with a little bit of history in it. This was hardly a sufficient manner to shed light upon one of the most ghastly real life horror stories of American industry. And as such, I am rating the movie a mediocre five out of ten stars. I was disappointed with the contents of this 2018 movie as it came to an end. "Radium Girls" was gifted with a rather good ensemble of actors and actresses, and while they had precious little to work with in terms of a proper script and dialogue, then the actors and actresses did manage to put on good enough performances, enough so to make the movie watchable. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it just felt too shallow and bland, to be bluntly honest. The pacing of the storyline felt, oddly enough, monotonous and never really managed to capture me entirely. This movie's story holds such a significant tale and importance that it felt that directors Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler just nonchalantly brushed over the topic without delving properly into the contents and putting to the screen the tragedy and the horror of these real life events. This is indeed a very tragic story, but for some reason directors Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler managed to deliver the storyline and its contents in a somewhat disappointing manner, and I must say that I was left with an overwhelming sensation of "was that really it?". Why? Well, because of the subject and topic of the storyline and its importance in real life and the lives of those girls working in the Radium business. I must admit that I was expecting much more from the 2018 movie titled "Radium Girls" than what writers Ginny Mohler and Brittany Shaw managed to deliver.
