Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
"Suffragette" is a meaningful history lesson, but as a movie, it plays like a slog through history class.

fresh:
The weight of the entrenched injustices these characters stagger under is enough to keep you on the verge of tears throughout.

rotten:
An intriguing premise dampened by thin characters and a formulaic story.

fresh:
Mulligan, in particular, delivers, bringing believability to a role that's quite a stretch, given the transformation her character has to go through from workaday mum to first-wave feminist superhero.

fresh:
Morgan's writing is occasionally pedestrian, but the sweep of the story, the performances and Gavron's vision make up for it.
