Review of Suffragette (2015) by Matthew S — 08 Jun 2016

As to wether the film is historically accurate or not I cannot speak, but I will review it simply on its basis as a story.

It is a beautiful film. The extraordinary courage of the characters are depicted so well through the simple stories of the individual women. It is very well written, and brings to mind the very bad effects that an overly patriarchal society can experience.

There are moments of sadness and moments of hope, that are brought to life through the appropriate cinematography, art direction and color scheme.

I loved it, because the story was told so beautifully that I identified entirely with the characters and I felt the pain and beauty of what they endured. It reminded me that women are still fighting today for their rights and that we should not scoff at the issue of oppression of any kind.
