Die Misswahl - Der Beginn einer Revolution

Indeed, the best thing was the post-movie credits with the real heroines making an appearance. How on earth they managed to create something so dull about women so inspiring ? The real heroines, even at their 70's, have more passion, more inspiration, more feelings in their eyes and in the few seconds we saw them they gave us more emotions than the darn whole movie.

I wasn't aware about the events and even at the end of the movie I never felt like what the girls did was important for women's movement. It was quite anticlimactic.. Biggest problem was they never managed to build well the sexist/patriarchy environment the women were living in at the time, so we can understand the impact of their actions. Whoever wrote the script was like filtering everything through a 2020 optic. I am not even sure why a large portion of the story was dedicated to Bob Hope. Bit of a shame really this wasn't good.

All 5 stars for the real ladies at the end of the movie.

Misbehaviour is a great, reasonably balanced if a little formulaic comedy drama that's funny and relevant. Keira Knightly and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are both incredible. Jessie Buckley, Rhys Ifans and Greg Kinnear are all great. Philippa Lowthorpe's direction is also great, it's well filmed and well paced. The music by Dickon Hinchcliffe is really good and the soundtrack is good.

There was no real bite. A reasonable watch, but it lacked something. Having grown up through the era where Miss World was presented as family entertainment, the culture made for some very uncomfortable viewing.

A nice comedy about beauty contest, feminism, Bob Hope proposed, in fair way, by Greg Kienner and beautiful portrait of Dolores Hope by Lesley Manville. A reasonable social critic and inspired recreated atmosphere of the period.

Firstly I can't believe my eyes at the low review score. I watch (or try to) films from every Genre, depict every political and social narrative.

There is nothing to dislike here. It's not gender swapping shallow rehashes and trying to sell it with 4th wave feminism. It is a BRILLIANT and accessible film about a bunch of brave women. Now that isn't to imply we don't need a badass roster of women in our Marvel's and DC's but this is a story of real heroic women fighting against a seriously oppressive regime.

I thought that a few of the younger characters were going to be obnoxiously off-putting but for ONCE they aren't, for once despite a few slightly cringe moments near the start, they are real characters with the attitude to fight for change.

I think no matter what race you are, the colour of your skin or your gender you can take something away from this movie and see how we should all be continuing to fight against injustices from every angle.

9/10 is a very high mark. It didn't have a few hundred million pounds in CGI, hell the angles from many perspectives can seem confusing. However I disregard the notion that this is another "woke film". It is unironically woke.
