      Critics Consensus

      Suffragette dramatizes an important -- and still painfully relevant -- fact-based story with more than enough craft and sincerity to overcome its flaws. Read critic reviews

        Important subject given a dull but worthy treatment. Carey is a highlight, but it just doesn't raise to the levels it could have. Still made me flipping angry though and reminded me why I'm a feminist. I couldn't believe the credits at the end and how long it's taken certain countries to get women the vote. Really timely with the situation in USA today and that Trump thing stripping women of their rights. How did it happen then and how is it still happening now.

        A mediocre period film, Suffragette is a historical drama that looks at the English Suffrage movement. After she's asked to testify before a political committee a laundry worker is drawn into the movement to give women the right to vote, but the more involved she gets the closer she comes to losing everything. Starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, and Brendan Gleeson, the cast is pretty strong. However, the writing is rather weak as the plot seems to meander and doesn't have a clear focus. And, the characters are a little underdeveloped. Still, the production values are really good and help to draw the audience into the film. The poor storytelling holds Suffragette back, but it still has a powerful message about the struggles that past generations have faced to gain the freedoms that we enjoy today.

        I really wanted to like this film for the importance of what it wants to say, but while it isn't bad, it is too conventional and marred by some clichés and silly plot devices to create suspense - like someone conveniently finding a newspaper with an information that he needs.

        A worthwhile history lesson, though it could have incorporated more of the wider suffrage movement instead of focusing only on a few characters. It does show Emily Davison (Natalie Press), whose important and drastic action is not often mentioned. People think that western women have had rights for a long time - this film shows how fragile and hard-won those rights are. The acting by Mulligan and the support cast is very good. Pankhurst is depicted as rather arch, and a touch strange - was she? The screenplay at least was inadequate - the woman was a ground breaking political strategist. Casting Streep was a distraction from the main characters. In this era of the fresh drive to put women down, this is an important film because it reminds those of us who value democracy that political freedom and equality can't be taken for granted, that what we have was won at great cost, and that preserving it demands vigilance.
