As a period story, Suffragette effectively recounts the harrowing women's suffrage movement of early-20th century Britain, where women were locked away and tortured for demanding equal rights. As a current piece of filmmaking, the female-starring, female-written and female-directed drama couldn't come at a better time, as the conversation of gender imbalance in Hollywood and abroad reaches a crescendo in our own modern society.
Directed by Sarah Gavron (Brick Lane), the film follows Maud Watts (played by Carey Mulligan), a fictitious laundry worker and housewife whose life is forever changed when she secretly joins the growing suffragette movement. Partnered with real-life activists Edith Ellyn (Helena Bonham Carter), Emily Davison (Natalie Press) and others, Maud rallies against increasingly aggressive police forces led by Detective Steed (Brendan Gleeson) -- much to the chagrin of Maud's husband Sonny (Ben Wishaw). Soon, Maud must decide if fighting for her rights is worth being disgraced by her friends and family, as well as putting her own life at risk.
Suffragette's greatest asset is Mulligan, who delivers a subtle yet powerful performance as Maud. Playing the audience surrogate, her character starts out as a soft-spoken pushover, but she gradually transforms into one of the movement's foremost pioneers. As a result, Suffragette can sometimes feel like it's systematically "ticking boxes," so to speak -- that is, making sure Maud is on the periphery of every major protest and rally of the time. However, it speaks to Abi Morgan's script that almost all the major set pieces -- excluding the climax, unfortunately -- are anchored by Maud and her personal struggle.
Suffragette successfully captures the hardship and bravery of the British women's suffrage movement, while also showcasing a wonderful performance from Carey Mulligan. Technically, it's skillfully written and directed, boasting appealing visuals and a strong character arc. While the film sometimes feels methodical in its approach, its heart and mes...

Overall, the film is extremely compelling and very emotional to watch. Seeing women abused and mistreated is tough....and should grab your heart. Well acted and worth seeing. My only complaint is ts are that the film, at times, is a bit sterile...which is odd considering the events.
Telling the story of the brave British women who fought for their right to vote, Suffragette is an absolutely superb and thrilling historical drama made by women, about women and for EVERYONE ...
