Critics Quotes
North Country is one of those movies that stir you up and make you mad, because it dramatizes practices you've heard about but never really visualized. We remember that Frances McDormand played a woman police officer in this same area in "Fargo," and we value that memory, because it provides a foundation for Josey Aimes. McDormand's role in this movie is different and much sadder, but brings the same pluck and common sense to the screen. Put these two women together (as actors and characters) and they can accomplish just about anything. Watching them do it is a great movie experience.
- Roger Ebert
Charlize Theron didn't win an Oscar for getting fat and ugly to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster -- she won for digging deep into a scarred soul. Though the dirt and grime in North Country are artfully applied, it's purely cosmetic and skin-deep.
