Factory

About This Movie

Factory is a raw and gritty documentary that really captures the pulse of blue-collar life in the early '70s. Evelyn Barron's direction feels almost intrusive, as if you’re eavesdropping on the everyday struggles of workers caught in a relentless grind. The pacing is slow yet deliberate, allowing you to settle into the atmosphere of the factory—smells, sounds, and all. It dives deep into the economic and psychological binds these workers face, which feels eerily relevant even today. There's no flashy editing or overproduced effects here; it’s just real people, real dialogue, and a real sense of despair mixed with camaraderie. It’s an experience rather than just a film, and that's what gives it a distinctive edge.
