Suffragette

"A rousing, relevant slice of feminist history. (...) The film marks an impressive achievement for three of the women involved in the production — director Sarah Gavron, screenwriter Abi Morgan, and lead actress Carey Mulligan" 

"Suffragette is an admirably modest movie (...) It is also stirring and cleareyed — the best kind of history lesson" 

"'Suffragette' -- flaws and all -- is a movie that matters. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"It's an unabashed message-driven story that imbues the past with modern power. (...) 'Suffragette' is the year's best superhero movie that doesn't star a bunch of guys." 

"Mulligan's flinty and moving lead performance is the standout element of Sarah Gavron's flatly conventional snapshot of the British women's suffrage movement. (...) A picture whose politics prove rather more commendable than its artistry." 

"Some of the developments feel a bit predictable (...) but the story is inspiring, buoyed by a fine cast, a pointed, important examination of the price paid for a shot at equality (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"Writer Abi Morgan (...) and director Sarah Gavron's (...) tough, raw, bleak-looking film makes the suffragettes' dilemma feel immediate and real. (...) It’s a tremendous, awards-worthy performance from Mulligan. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
