Rating: B+ -- Despite compromises, a result of interference in director Demme's work, this fictional look at a Rosie the Riveter kind of woman displays a nice feminist perspective on WWII and terrific performances from Goldie Hawn and especially Christine Lahti. Full Review

Swing Shift tries ... to twist some consequence out of a tawdry adulterous tryst by a couple of self-centered sneaks. But the writing and acting are too flat for the challenge. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- There's no suspense and no big emotional payoff, but the movie is always absorbing. Full Review

Rating: B- -- The conventional period romantic drama has good details of the period and some fine dramatic moments, that at least kept it from being a bomb. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- At its heart lies a sweet romance, with good performances from both the leads and an Oscar nomination for supporting actress Lahti. Full Review
