A single mother with two children, Josey Aimes needs a good job when returns to her Minnesota hometown after a failed marriage. She turns to the major local industry: the iron mines. When Josey speaks out against the harassment she and other female workers face, she is met with resistance — not only from the company, but from her parents and coworkers who fear she is only making things worse. Josey must find the courage to stand up for what she believes, even if that means standing alone.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"All three actresses should be on Oscar's short list, but if there's a sure bet, it's Theron."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"Viewers who have ever been tempted to harrumph about the danger class-action litigation poses to fragile corporations, or to suggest that examples of out-of-control political correctness make all allegations of harassment suspect, might think twice when confronted with this black-and-white tale of moral outrage."
Cox News Service: A
"Theron portrays the part of a woman victimized by a lifetime of abuse with painful authenticity."
Middletown Journal: B
"Charlize Theron, as usual, is striking, showing both strength and vulnerability with great conviction."
The Palm Beach Post: B-
"Go to North Country for Theron's performance, which levitates above the screenplay's excesses."
