Summary: DVD
Comment: This is a movie that should be seen by all women and all men, for that matter. We should all be using our privilege of voting no matter what party or no party that we belong to. This movie brings that out magnificently. Hilary Swank is wonderful!

Summary: Iron Jawed Angels
Comment: Long before this movie was recommended to me by a female friend, I had seen this movie at Blockbuster and passed it over. The cover and title combined to make it look like a soft core porn/slasher film which wouldn't merit my time and energy. I was completely wrong of course. Upon personal recommendation and an e mail touting the importance of the early work of these women, I looked up the DVD on Amazon.

I did learn a lot about the sacrifices made by these women and a few new historical perspectives. There was an agenda which accompanied the e mail I received and it was supported by the movie.."Look at all the sacrifices these women made early on...now don't go an waste your vote after all they've done for you..." The email came from a conservative friend who was formerly in the military. (I think the endorsement of this movie implied, furthermore that a liberal vote in the upcoming presidential election would be such a waste, but I digress..)

I am a videographer and a movie buff, so I look at any movie from the standpoint of the production values involved. I really felt like this would make a great made for TV movie. It was full of cliche renderings to make its point. It was even peppered with a little sex and romantic interests. The protagonist engages breifly in a daliance with a newspaper man she has come to know. Whether it was the morais of the day or her divided loyalties to her cause, she was unable to fully indulge herself in the banality of such a relationship. However, her fantasies win out during a bathtub scene where she is obviously masturbating. I wasn't offended by the notion, it's just that it seemed like gratuitus sex to me, designed to spice up the story line for viewers. It also has the impact of nixing a showing to the local women's club by my friend.

Overall, it was informative, but perhaps not entirely historically accurate. It was a good one time viewing, but I wished I had rented it originally instead of buying it as it is not a "keeper" in my estimation.

Summary: Good for historical film
Comment: Well-done docudrama. Kind of slow moving in parts, but generally well done. It brings home the hardships faced by these truly brave women. Can't say that I would have done what they did. All women should buy this to show to their daughters.
Only negative was that it took almost a month to receive. The post office apparently lost the package for a few weeks.

Summary: Women who VOTE -- what a novel idea
Comment: IMHO, an important work that we would all benefit from watching. I just learned that approximately 20 MILLION single American women did NOT vote in the last presidential election!

This film serves as a reminder that our liberties are so very hard-won, that it takes a combined effort and a deep commitment, and that often the person who begins a battle (Susan B. Anthony) is not the one who sees it through to victory. I didn't give it 5 stars because I didn't think that Hilary Swank ever really connected to the character. She always seemd to be toying with the ideas, but sadly, didn't come across as "completely in character".

The rest of the cast are positively glowing in their superb portrayals of a diverse group who banded together for a common cause. One to watch and learn from. Periodicity was well done, too.
