Syl Meryl Streep played Emmeline Pankhurst in this film for a very short performance. The cast included Carey Mulligan as a suffragette in an unhappy marriage with a son. She is fighting for the right to vote. You would never think that there were rules to prevent women from voting in elections. The film tells the story of how the British suffragette movement and how they fought for equality. Meryl Streep does a very good job. The film cast is first rate with Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter were terrific onscreen. The entire cast was terrific but the writing could have been better. The film was set in 1912 and the art direction was first rate with the costumes and setting. Anne Marie Duff was great as Violet. Helena Bonham Carter played Edith. The film has some weaknesses in the storyline. The ending was satisfactory but left feeling incomplete overall.

psolution 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.

Thunderman90210 Just another formula movie skip it.Meryl Streep is just phoning it in for another paycheck.People like Streep should just retire and change jobs.I think her political views are hurting her acting.She should just shut up and act.

kaydenpat At the end of the movie, the claim was made that in 1920 women gained the right to vote in the United States. This is inaccurate. Only White women gained this right. Black women didn't get the right to vote until the 1960s. This fact should have been clarified. The film itself was okay. Not sure how accurate it was which is what you can expect with most "based on true events" movies.
