Suffragette

So the third film in a row with a single word title beginning with S.
Quite a fascinating film which just shows how far we have travelled since those  quite dark days. Poor old Switzerland only giving the votes to women in the early 70s was a show stopper fact right at the end.
Had very much that BBC feel to it, although it was co produced by Film4, with its attention to period detail was exemplorary. Although Meryl Streep appearing as Emmeline Pankhurst was casting I just could not deal with.
I did like the fact that Helena Bonham Carter was the great-granddaughter of H.H. Asquith, who served as the Prime Minister during the height of the suffrage movement. He was a staunch opponent of votes for women. Her role was the complete opposite.
Certainly the film was a talking afterwards.

7.5/10
