Film: Suffragette



Why they put Meryl Streep on the posters I will never know. She was in the film for about 5 minutes, and unfortunately came over like a Bad Thatcher. It was Carey Mulligan's film, and she did a good job, as did her screen husband Ben Whishaw. Yes, it was very simple in a very simple and simplistic way. I am not sure some of the details regarding class did not totally squander any chance of SOD (suspension of disbelief). I find it hard to believe that women of the class played by Carey Mulligan's character would be as articulate as this particular laundry slave was. I half expected her to break into Milton at one point, so at ease with the spoken word was she.
