Perfect cast and a good story

good film but with many flaws

Absolutely amazing

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

SUFFRAGETTE is an acceptable filmed version of the Suffragette movement in Britain in the early 20th century, making sure to cover all of the main ground: the oppression faced by working women, the difficulty of working conditions, sexism, family relationships, the violence and rebellion of the Suffrage movement, the attitude of the authorities. It ends in the most famous event associated with the movement and as a whole is very predictable, but educational at the same time. I would have preferred this if the main character hadn't been heavily fictionalised and if we had a little more depth and layering, because as things stand this is very black-and-white in approach. Meryl Streep's cameo is too much of a distraction too. Still, the likes of Mulligan, Bonham Carter and Garai work hard to invest you in their roles, and it moves with a briskness and efficiency to keep it engaging.

Movie is representing the women's fight for their right of vote in Britain and we are well aware about Suffragette movement which was a real struggle. Great reminder of the past events, but unfortunately the ending text was not getting the facts right or as usual, smaller European nation is not mentioned as women in Finland got their right to vote in 1906, first country in Europe and the following year they had first elected representatives in the parliament in the whole world! Unfortunately the world seems to forget or is not informed correctly, but we Finns are proud of this fact.

I'm sure that the Suffragette could be good, but something went wrong. I found the whole movie extremely boring, however its topic is not only interesting but also very important in the whole world. Abi Morgan has already shown, that she's able to write very great films, like The Iron Lady. But now she couldn't make the story exciting. From the first time I was sure how the film will be ended, I didn't have questions, the only feeling I felt was disappointment. The cast was not bad, but the best part of it was Helena Bonham Carter. She is one of the most talented actresses, but she had a too little role, he couldn't show how talented she is, which is very sad. (She could save the movie) Meryl Streep was also presented on all of the posters of the Suffragette, but she had 2 minutes in the film. I think, Anne-Marie Duff wasn't powerful enough and Carry Mulligan was not properly instructed by the director. (she is a good actor, but without good instructions was she unable to play well) The Suffragette is not bad, but it could be better, if the director would work more on the situations and the script.

England, 1912. Women don't have the vote and one woman, Emmeline Pankhurst (played by Meryl Streep), is trying to rectify that. She is the leader of the Suffragette movement and, after trying peaceful means to obtain their goals, their methods turn more extreme. On the fringes of the movement is Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan), a factory worker. She tries to stay out of the struggle but is inexorably drawn into it. What she sees and endures is brutal, and ultimately ground-breaking.The story of a how woman came to get the vote in the UK is a story of courage and conviction and one that deserves telling. The work of Emmeline Pankhurst and the Suffragettes was revolutionary, necessary and ultimately successful. The movie shows well what the situation was like for women at the time and how they achieved their ends.However, it is incredibly heavy-handed in its approach. Every male in the movie is portrayed one-dimensionally, as an ogre and oppressor and unsympathetic to women and their cause. There is not a single likable, or even non-dislikeable, male in the movie. A bit difficult to like the movie too much when it is so manipulative and unbalanced.Quite dull in spells, too. Pretty much conventional, paint-by-numbers storytelling.
