"Suffragette" arrives stateside

Being that Meryl attended the L.A. premiere of Suffragette earlier this week, I was under the impression that the film was set for wide release today.  Turns out it's only in New York and L.A.  Ugh, I wish there were one website that would clearly and accurately list both a film's limited and wide release.  IMDb isn't always reliable in this area.  Oh well.  I wasn't going to be able to see it this weekend regardless, so I'm ok waiting another week for it to arrive in the Twin Cities.  

One nice thing however is that we're getting numerous reviews pouring in.  As I write this post, the film currently stands at a very respectable 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a total of 65 reviews.  I'm expecting around one hundred more.  Early receipts in the U.K. were particularly favorable over the past week as well, with the film grossing over $4 million in previews alone.  

Of course I'm very much looking forward to seeing the film, and not only for Meryl's brief appearance.  I'd love to hear people's thoughts if you're already had a chance to see the film.
