A Shockingly Bad US Poster for Made in Dagenham

4

I love poster designs for movies. I love the thought that goes into them, the artistry even down to how the text sits on it, but what the heck is going on with this?! The movie looks rather good and you can read our review of it here from when it was released in the UK back in October, but what were the designers thinking when they made this?! Just shoving loads of press quotes on top of it! And have they just superimposed Sally Hawkins on top of it? It looks more like a horror film poster than it does about women’s lib!

It could be that there is a good reason why this looks so bad but I cant think of one! Let me know what you think in the comments section below. Is it just me?

Made in Dagenham is directed by Nigel Cole, stars Rosamund Pike, Miranda Richardson, Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Marysia Kay, Daniel Mays and will be out to buy on DVD / Blu ray some time next year.

  1. It’s apparently being positioned as an awards hopeful by SPC in the US. Therefore, this is less a piece of marketing material, more a piece of positioning propaganda ahead of the US awards season.

    (All credit to the above to Guy Lodge from In Contention who explained as much last night on twitter and (possibly) on the site.)
