DVD Reviews of Iron Jawed Angels
DVD Review: Incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is powerful and portrays a part of US history we don't learn in school...women were beaten, imprisoned, and gave their lives for the right to vote. This movie should be seen by all women. After seeing this you will never take your right to vote for granted. You will thank these women for all they did. I held a special viewing night at my house prior to last year's election. I encourage all women to get together with friends and watch this riveting movie.DVD Review: excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this film with my U.S. History students -- it really gets them to understand how difficult it was to achieve women's suffrage -- something that sadly, many of them take for granted.DVD Review: Much better than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Far from the self-important feminist period piece with TV-movie production values I was expecting, Iron Jawed Angels is a vibrant piece of filmmaking that tells a tale of nuance and complication rather than the inexorable march of What's Right; a movie about feminism that has none of the qualities that people sneer at when they hear the word, it's a rather astonishing movie which belies its made-for-TV roots and delivers a piece of cinema on the small screen.
3.5/4
DVD Review: Every Woman Should See This
Summary: 5 Stars
Painful telling of Alice Paul's fight for women votes. An eye-opening story that every American will be richer having seen. Shockingly violent at times, but with a feel good ending. Hillary Swank's performance is brilliant!DVD Review: Iron-jawed angels
Summary: 5 Stars
A very down-to-earth depiction of history, showing not icons but real women working for the right to vote.

The fight for women's voting rights has rarely been given as dramatic a treatment as in Iron Jawed Angels. Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry) and Frances O'Connor (Mansfield Park) star as second-wave suffragettes Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, who led the final fight for the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Though the movie sometimes tries too hard to avoid the stigma of a period piece (the soundtrack features electric guitars, Swank has a steamy moment in a bathtub, and the editing is jagged and flashy), the mounting energy of the fight--and the increasingly nasty opposition--gains real momentum when a wartime picket line leads to Paul, Burns, and their sisters-in-arms being arrested on trumped-up charges and imprisoned. The actors--including Julia Ormond (Smilla's Sense of Snow), Angelica Huston (Prizzi's Honor, The Grifters), and Brooke Smith (Vanya on 42nd Street)--give fervent, determined performances. --Bret Fetzer
