...Maud makes an empathetic set of eyes through which to observe the action.

...the most moving passage in Suffragette is newsreel footage of a real event.

...director Sarah Gavron does well to galvanize her story with a degree of urgency: the result of swift, assured camerawork and a brilliantly understated performance by Carey Mulligan.

...a thoroughly valuable and absorbing film, with some terrifically managed suspense sequences...

...vil glæde enhver historielærer, som med faglig stolthed, kan fryde sig over de historiske nedslagspunkter.
