The film “Suffragette” (2015) is a purely female film, shot on the example of Great Britain by a women’s team (director Sarah Gabron, screenwriter Abi Morgan) about the famous women’s problem – the lack of suffrage and any other rights. It was in the United Kingdom and the United States that the movement became most widespread. Moreover, they used quite violent methods - smashed windows, laid explosive devices, went on hunger strike in prisons, but also fought them with cruel methods, despite the fact that it was like a weaker sex. In the film, we see a small group of women, some of whom work in the laundry, in which it is difficult to call work suitable for women. The main heroine Maud (Carrie Mulligan) is in the ranks of the suffragettes quite accidentally, but in the end imbued with their ideas, because she is inherent in nature sense of justice, as a result of which her marriage collapses, the weak husband (Ben Whishaw) has enough “courage” to kick her out of the house and not to see her son, but to raise him unfit, and he gives his son to a foster family. She is also kicked out of work after another arrest, then she devotes herself to the movement. Everything in the film is very straightforward, the heroines are desperate and stubborn, of the men we see only one husband of one of the heroines played by Helena Bonham-Carter, helping them, all the others are not distinguished by high moral qualities, however, the policeman performed by Brendan Gleeson by the end will have something similar to humanity. I can’t say that the film is outstanding, but the topic is quite worthy of coverage. The actors were good again. At the end of the credits, we see when and in which countries women got the right to vote, and what struck me was that in Switzerland they didn't get it until 1971.
