	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"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"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Suffragette is an admirably modest movie (...) It is also stirring and cleareyed — the best kind of history lesson"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Suffragette' -- flaws and all -- is a movie that matters. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"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)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"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."	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"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."	NEU
United Kingdom	Catherine Shoard The Guardian	"Director Sarah Gavron does well to galvanize her story with a degree of urgency: the result of swift, assured camerawork and a brilliantly understated performance by Carey Mulligan. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Connie Ogle Miami Herald	"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)"	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"It's a film with movement and energy. (...) Suffragette ’s strength lies in the fact that, even though some of the characters and events depicted seem archetypal, and they're certainly composites, they ultimately turn out to be more than that."	POS
