ThiefHott Too much of everything
PodBill Just what I expected
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
kristyekinney I get chills watching so many of these wonderfully directed and acted scenes. Great portrayal of these brave and steadfast women who paved the way for all of us.
occamsrazor1969 I really enjoyed this movie. The cast was amazing, and the parts well acted. Amazing wardrobe, and the sets were beautifully done.One major issue I have with this movie is the soundtrack. I've always loved how the music sets the tone of a film. This movie fails on an epic scale here. There's R&B for crying out loud!! In a movie set in the beginning of the 20th century??? And a historical drama at that? Maybe it's just me....And Hillary Swank is her usual phenomenal self. Other than the unusual music choices, I'd highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves historical dramas.
lastliberal The words are Emily Leighton's (Molly Parker), who defied her Senator husband and risked losing her daughters to fight for their right to be counted as citizens of the US. She, and many other women fought long and hard, and endured pain and suffering, to give women what was rightfully theirs.Hillary Swank was magnificent, as was her sidekick played by Frances O'Connor. Swank was the top of a stellar cast and should have gotten more credit for her performance. Hollywood tends to pick favorites instead of the best, and they did so in this case.This is an important film that should be seen by all to remind us that our country has had and still has a history of denying basic rights to it's citizens. The fight is not over for everyone, and sometimes it takes herculean efforts to get what should be everyone's rights in the first place.
deeanna-martin Little is known about what women experienced in the early years of our country in trying to obtain equal rights to simply exist and work outside the home, much less other rights and privileges given only to men during this time. This movie brings to life one of those many stories. It is proof yet again how one woman's perseverance "infects" so many others, including a senator's wife, to stand up for what they believe in. I recommend all women see this movie if for no other reason than to appreciate and respect the inner strength and power that all women have.Men should watch also to see first hand what women experienced and how much they suffered. Perhaps they will also appreciate and respect women for their inner strength and possibly try to understand why some women are so fiercely independent and assertive as they are today.
