A few days ago, the Women Film Critics Circle announced their 2015 awards. Not surprisingly, they heavily favored Suffragette, handing out recognition in seven categories:
Best Movie about Women
Best Movie by a Woman
Best Actress (Carey Mulligan)
Best Female Images in a Movie
Best Ensemble (go Meryl!)
Courage in Filmmaking (Sarah Gavron)
Karen Morley Award (a film that best exemplifies a woman's place in history or society, and a courageous search for identity)
Unfortunately, this is essentially the only recognition this film has garnered among critics, and the Women Film Critics Circle should be a slam dunk anyway. Regardless, I'm a fan of the film and wager that Meryl is very happy that she was a part of it.
Merry Christmas, Jeff. Thank you for providing us with great reading this past year. May your site continue and prosper in the New Year. All the best! Rob in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada.
