Academy Award-nominees Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, and three-time Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep star in this powerful drama, inspired by true events, about the women willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early twentieth-century Britain. Galvanized by outlaw fugitive Emmeline (Meryl Streep), Maud (Carey Mulligan) joins the U.K.'s growing Suffragette movement alongside women from all walks of life who sacrificed their jobs, homes, children-and even their lives for the right to vote.

The story was heartbreaking at points. However the bottom line is that these women were terrorists by definition. They destroyed property and hurt people in the name of their politics. The only difference is that Hollywood likes their cause.

Suffragette speaks greatly about the suffragette movement, and doesn't dare to gloss over the brutal violence many of the women earned all because of the cause they supported. Historically, it teaches a great deal. Yet, Suffragette fails to connect with its viewers. Mulligan's character seems like an unwitting protagonist, and not an unwitting protagonist that is interesting to watch due to how little she should have had to do with the events that occur. Instead, she comes off cold, and one-sided, and unrelatable. For such a powerful movement, Mulligan's character fails to draw in the emotional part of the performance required to make it a riveting film. This has nothing to do with Mulligan's acting, but rather how the story was structured. Rather than Mulligan's character having a hand in what happened and participate in the events of the suffragette movement, everything seems to happen to her without any apparent reason. She meddles, and the instant a consequence arises, she disappears back to her mundane housewife life. For those who want a cinematic view on the suffragette movement, this movie would do the job, but for those who want to be moved... Find something else.

Fantastic movie that reveals the real depth of sacrifices that these women made for so many women around the world today to have the right to vote and be treated with value and respect. Much applause and gratitude to these brave women. Did you know that the women of Saudia Arabia still don't have the right to vote or be recognized as equal citizens? That government promised in 2015 that they will get them right to vote. Can you believe this is still something women in other countries are still fighting for? Crazy right?
