Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
That could have been a good movie, but predictable. Mike Nichols' Silkwood is not predictable.... We realize this is a lot more movie than perhaps we were expecting.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Mike Nichols, in his first venture into movies since "The Fortune," elicited superlative performances from the actors, particularly Streep and stage veteran Sudi Bond.

Boston Globe - Unnamed
Fueled by Meryl Streep's performance in the title role, energized by Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen's script and tempered by Mike Nichols' understated direction, Silkwood is a brilliant movie that puts art above polemics, and the facts above speculation. [14 Dec 1983]

Variety - Unnamed
A very fine biographical drama.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Jay Scott
Silkwood is a friendly, kooky and caring film. [09 Dec 1983]
