Maud (Carey Mulligan) is 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. [Focus Features]
Insider’s tip: “In the best picture of 2015, Carey Mulligan is the stoic, long-suffering sweatshop worker radicalized into action.” (Roger Moore, Movie Nation). Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter adds: “The surprise of Suffragette is how much anger and urgency it contains, and how much new material it unearths.” This well-made period piece, imbued with fine performances and an excellent script, reminds one that the struggle it depicts is an ongoing one.
