Reviews

Syl Meryl Streep played Emmeline Pankhurst in this film for a very short performance. The cast included Carey Mulligan as a suffragette in an unhappy marriage with a son. She is fighting for the right to vote. You would never think that there were rules to prevent women from voting in elections. The film tells the story of how the British suffragette movement and how they fought for equality. Meryl Streep does a very good job. The film cast is first rate with Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter were terrific onscreen. The entire cast was terrific but the writing could have been better. The film was set in 1912 and the art direction was first rate with the costumes and setting. Anne Marie Duff was great as Violet. Helena Bonham Carter played Edith. The film has some weaknesses in the storyline. The ending was satisfactory but left feeling incomplete overall.

mariacntmadio The Suffragette is a real good movie that talks about the fight of woman to win their rights. It's an exciting movie, with schocking scenes as sexual abuse, death, and etc. It's important to make people conscious about history and woman's tragectory.

nicholls_les What a good movie this is, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was gripped from the outset. The set direction is superb and you really feel that you have been transported back to this awful time in history where women had very little if any rights. The story is one we all think we know but this movie reveals some surprises. Checking the history of this time it appears that this movie gets it right within the confines of cramming it all into under two hours.I though Carey Mulligan was outstanding as the fictional Maud Watts, who was clearly based on an amalgam of real characters, she captured her character brilliantly and showed a wide range of emotion as she became, at first reluctantly, drawn into the Suffragette movement.Meryl Streep has a very small role, almost a cameo, but she is as always 100% convincing as Emmeline Pankhurst. Helena Bonham Carter is also outstanding in her role and I found every character believable.Is is disturbing to think that the events in this movie took place not too long ago and it is sad to see that men used their positions to prey on women and young girls and treat them as little more than property or sex objects. The actions of the Police were particularly disturbing.This is not the type of movie I would normally watch but I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in History.

pifkeyraoul I liked this movie. However, I think the characters needed fleshing out.Amy Madigan is a terrific actress but she needed more to work with, I believe. There were four main female characters plus Mrs. Pankhurst(Meryl Streep). It would have been interesting to see where Mrs. Pankhurst's radicalism began, as she is obviously an upper class lady. By the way, I liked Brendan Gleeson (Inspector Steed) as he started out a very hard, prejudiced character, and changed to actually being somewhat sympathetic to the women.In a movie, it would be hard to develop the female characters sufficiently.I think this would be a good mini-series so that the characters could be more closely explored.
