Review of Suffragette (2015) by Beecee — 13 Nov 2015
This film is dominated by Carey Mulligan's gripping performance of a working class wife and mother who joins the first wave women's movement's campaign for women's votes. Despite the somewhat melodramatic tone, Carey and the other actresses kept me glued to the screen.
It also brings up issues relevant to today's social movements, such as, is violence ever acceptable in pursuit of social justice? The combination of real and fictitious characters worked for me, and the production values were good.
This film will hopefully enlighten many people who are not aware of this slice o history.
