Suffragette (2015)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 106m
Director: Sarah Gavron
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson, Helena Bonham Carter, Samuel West, Romola Garai, Geoff Bell, Meryl Streep
Synopsis:
A laundress of moderate convictions is gradually persuaded to take part in the women's movement for the vote, even when she is incarcerated and loses the care of her son.
Review:
Worthy drama, impeccably mounted and acted, and with the kind of grim detail that puts one in mind of Hugo and Zola, even though we are well and truly in the twentieth century. The makers wisely go for a main character who is initially aghast at the antics of these zealots, all the better to dramatize her ensuing emancipation.
