There’s an undercurrent of death running through the film. The quick cuts bring a stylistic flair to the film that gives us a sense of the era’s fast-paced nature. Directors Lydia Dean Pilcher (who just released “ A Call To Spy” earlier this month) and Ginny Mohler cut to black and white footage 1920’s art, news and culture throughout the film. On both a technical and creative level, “Radium Girls” keeps the viewer’s attention through stylistic choices that stray from your typical historical drama. Her declining health and mysterious diagnosis lead the sisters to a shocking discovery that will forever change their world. However, this is impossible considering Josephine is a virgin. Doctor Flint from work visits her, only to be diagnosed with syphilis just like her sister Mary. Josephine is the more grounded sister and when she begins experiencing physical symptoms, including dizziness, loose teeth and aching joints, the two worry. Bessie dreams of becoming a famous actress with her name in lights. Although painting dials put food on the table, it’s certainly not the life they envision for the future. While her boss tells her the paint will “make her cheeks glow,” Bessie hates the taste.

Bessie doesn’t turn in nearly as many dials as Josephine because she doesn’t lick the brush after each paint stroke. The two sisters are inseparable but quite different when it comes to their work techniques.

Their sister Mary used to work with them until her death three years prior from syphilis. Bessie (Joey King) works with her sister Josephine (Abby Quinn) as a dial painter for American Radium. The year is 1927 and the twenties are roaring.
