[SLO]

Zgodba, ki so jo navdihnile resnične sufražetke - prve borke za enakopravnost žensk, prikazuje turobno življenje mlade Maud, ki poleg skrbi za revno družino doživlja vsakodnevna ponižanja na delu v pralnici. Čeprav ni izobražena, jo navdihnejo govori odločne Emmeline, ki se zavzema za pravice žensk. Toda patriarhalna družba ostaja gluha, zato se Maud pridruži skupini ženk, ki načrtujejo nasilen upor proti oblasti, s tem pa na kocko postavijo svoja življenja, kot tudi ugled in prihodnost lastnih družin.

Politična drama se osredotoča na žensko gibanje sufražetk v poznem 19. stoletju. Carey Mulligan igra glavni lik, mlado politično aktivistko. Medtem ko njen lik ne temelji na določeni resnični osebnosti, Meryl Streep igra Emmeline Pankhurst, vodjo gibanja. Ta je ustanovila skupino, nekaj časa preživela v zaporu zaradi napada na policista ter igrala veliko vlogo pri Representation of the People Act iz leta 1918, ki je reformiral volilni sistem. Umrla je nekaj tednov pred potrditvijo volilne pravice za ženske, starejše od 21 let. (Vir: Kolosej)

Academy Award nominees Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, and three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, lead the cast of a powerful drama about the women who were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. The stirring story centers on Maud (played by Carey Mulligan), a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the U.K.'s growing suffragette movement. Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. When increasingly aggressive police action forces Maud and her dedicated fellow suffragettes underground, they engage in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the authorities, who are shocked as the women's civil disobedience escalates and sparks debate across the nation. Inspired by true events, SUFFRAGETTE is a moving drama exploring the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women's right to vote - their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives. The film also stars Ben Whishaw, Anne-Marie Duff, Brendan Gleeson, Romola Garai, and Natalie Press. SUFFRAGETTE is directed by BAFTA Award winner Sarah Gavron from an original screenplay by Emmy Award winner Abi Morgan. (C) Focus Features

[RT Critics Consensus]

Suffragette dramatizes an important -- and still painfully relevant -- fact-based story with more than enough craft and sincerity to overcome its flaws.
