not horrible nor great

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The Suffragette is a real good movie that talks about the fight of woman to win their rights. It's an exciting movie, with schocking scenes as sexual abuse, death, and etc. It's important to make people conscious about history and woman's tragectory.

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.

Oh, goodness. I REALLY was excited for this movie. The suffrage movement is so interesting and inspiring. It's a great piece of history and it's a ripe topic for a movie. But this fell a little flat for me. I felt like the characters - their motivations, struggles, strengths, weaknesses, regrets, etc - were not explored very deeply. It just kind of was an expose of suffrage moments but it wasn't anchored by that much heart. There was some grit and the historical elements of production were strong. But it fell a little short at the script level.

What a good movie this is, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was gripped from the outset. The set direction is superb and you really feel that you have been transported back to this awful time in history where women had very little if any rights. The story is one we all think we know but this movie reveals some surprises. Checking the history of this time it appears that this movie gets it right within the confines of cramming it all into under two hours.I though Carey Mulligan was outstanding as the fictional Maud Watts, who was clearly based on an amalgam of real characters, she captured her character brilliantly and showed a wide range of emotion as she became, at first reluctantly, drawn into the Suffragette movement.Meryl Streep has a very small role, almost a cameo, but she is as always 100% convincing as Emmeline Pankhurst. Helena Bonham Carter is also outstanding in her role and I found every character believable.Is is disturbing to think that the events in this movie took place not too long ago and it is sad to see that men used their positions to prey on women and young girls and treat them as little more than property or sex objects. The actions of the Police were particularly disturbing.This is not the type of movie I would normally watch but I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in History.
