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.

This should have been a gripping and rousing story about the British fight for women's right to vote, but the overly-long and meandering script spoiled the impact. The film came across as a made-for-TV docudrama.Women's rights is such an important issue that it's too bad the film wasn't done well, especially since it was written, produced and directed by women.The problem, as I see it, is that they tried to cram in too many little events and details rather than focusing on the main story of the political struggle. They should have edited the script much more carefully. They could have cut whole scenes and cut out superfluous characters and given the story more impact. For example, they didn't need to show the young girl being molested by the shop owner and later 'saved' by the main character. They could have instead shown that the women were at the mercy of the owner's lechery without bringing in a whole other character. They also could have skipped the force-feeding in the prison and addressed it in dialogue. Same for the hokey adoption scene of the little boy – that could have been done in dialogue, which probably would have been much more devastating. Cutting some of those 'detours' would have kept the focus on the political struggle AND would have cut at least 20 minutes off the running time of the film. Overall, a great opportunity to inspire was wasted.
