Unexpectedly Moving

A really well done legal/personal drama that had the whole theater teary, if not outright crying, at the end. Patricia Clarkson was great in the lead and John Benjamin was terrific as her husband. Together they were very believable as a married, in love couple. Both seemed a bit too old to play their younger selves but that part of the film was relatively short so not a huge deal. Editing was very good and everything moved at a nice pace, no boring bits. I could've lived without the son's storyline and personally think more of the legal proceedings would've been of greater interest but I'm a lawyer so that might just be a me thing. We saw this on a lark at the Santa Barbara film festival so we really didn't know what to expect but it definitely exceeded our expectations.

Wonderful and inspirational

I loved this movie! Patricia Clarkson played the main character, and we all love her! The music was perfect, especially the opening song. The insertion of archival footage during the storytelling of Lilly's life was masterful. Obama and Hillary looked so youthful as they embraced her stamina and determination. There are moments that will leave you crying and deeply moved. The early moments with Lilly and her husband will strike you as true to the era, and their relationship strengthens and grows as she fights the inequities women faced in the workplace. Make sure your daughters and granddaughters see this film with you!

Powerful and Real Life

Gripping drama of Lilly Ledbetter's crusade for equal pay for women, which went to the Supreme Court and then into law in 2008. Patricia Clarkson was fantastic as was her husband.

Working at Goodyear for 20 years , Lilly learned she was getting half of what her male colleagues received. Her story of how she fought to make this more visible and bring about change was very compelling! I especially enjoyed the footage with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, talking about this case.

The movie flowed quickly and powerfully through her experiences at Goodyear and thereafter. Her husband was very well cast and believable.

It is in limited distribution to try to see it quickly, if you can.

Moving and Inspiring

Think it won't be suspenseful because you know the ending? Hold on, because Lilly takes you for a ride, leaving you inspired and awakening something within you to mimic her bravery and grace. If you're lucky enough to see this in a theater, grab a ticket! We were fortunate to catch this in a limited screening, I hope the distribution is extended. The lead character embody the true events, and news clips interspersed give you an idea of how recent such timely issues were addressed. Also loved the soundtrack, including the opening song, The Daughters. Bring the whole family and remind them that the fight continues.

Must see!

Lilly is a must see movie. Patricia Clarkson does a masterful job of portraying the spirit, grit and determination of Lilly Ledbetter. Her relationship with her husband is also a highlight. Patricia must age throughout the film and she does this brilliantly as well. I disagree with the film critics who do not like the actual historical film clips in the movie. They add a huge amount of context and weight to the movie.

This is an important story to bring the truth about equal pay discrimination of women in this country to light. Much of the audience was brought to tears by this movie.

This is an important story and well told!

Anecdotes
In 1979, Lilly Ledbetter (April 14, 1938-October 12, 2024) was hired at a Goodyear Tire and Rubber plant in Gadsden, Alabama. After nineteen years, she received an anonymous note informing her that she was receiving significantly lower pay than many male employees with comparable or less expertise and seniority. Ledbetter's sex discrimination suit against Goodyear was initially successful but her win was reversed on appeal, including at the Supreme Court. A majority of justices claimed that she would have needed to have filed her lawsuit within 180 days of her very first unequal paycheck--many years earlier--even though she had no way of knowing that her pay was unequal for most of that time. However, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a scathing dissent that (in a break from usual Supreme Court proceedings) she read aloud from the bench, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 became the first official piece of legislation passed during Barack Obama's presidency.
