The wild-haired Carter has the flashier role and, although she digs into it with gusto, she's all over the emotional map.

Though 55 Steps, well, side-steps the alarming political issues, with the doctors in question as cover for the true medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex villains, at its core this film transcends class as a remarkable female bonding story.
