Rating: 3/5 --
The hard-focus, realistic quality of the picture's photography and style completes its characterization as a calculated social document.

Rating: 5/5 --
Unavoidable classic on a 1950 mine strike, made by McCarthy era blacklisted filmmakers.

Rating: 75/100 --
This remains a fascinating and powerful movie as well as a significant piece of celluloid history.
Apollo Guide
More than a typical Miramax/Tarantino extravaganza, it's films like this that establish the historical precedent and importance of truly independent American filmmaking.

Filmjourney
An extraordinary film, made under extraordinary conditions and based on real events.

Salt of the Earth is a good, highly dramatic and emotion-charged piece of work that tells its story straight. It is, however, a propaganda picture which belongs in union halls rather than theatres.

Variety
Despite its formal esthetics and narrative didacticism... the movie has a a true force extolled by the austerity derived from the scarce technical equipment. [Full Review in Spanish]

Description by OLDIES.com:
Salt of the Earth centers on a long, difficult workers' strike against a mining company in New Mexico. Ramon Quintero (Juan Chacon) fights for equity of wages as well as health and safety issues, but at home he mistreats his wife, Esperanza. When the men are forced to end their picketing, Esperanza joins the other women who demand to play a role in the strike, against their husband's wishes. Written, directed, and produced by members of the original blacklisted "Hollywood Ten," Salt of the Earth is a powerful, persuasive drama that educates and inspires.
