Suffragette** (12A)  
(Ipswich Film Theatre)                          

(GB/Fra 2015)

A Bethnal Green laundry worker becomes implicated in the women's suffrage movement.
Quite affecting and powerful human rights drama, necessarily urgent and not pandering in style to period drama sedateness, although the period details are also good, and the (mostly female) all-star cast may be slightly underused but add strength to the drama.
