Misbehaviour

Absolutely great. Carefully weaves the story of emerging feminism with both humor and thoughtfulness. This is quite an accomplishment. Would recommend this. I never knew this event happened so a history lesson as well.

I thought this was a reasonably well made film based on a true story. I'm a little uncomfortable that its categorised as a comedy - the issue of womens rights and the objectification of young women is hardly a laughing matter and if anything such issues have only got worse in the following decades. I suppose there are some moments where the activists are shown in high spirits, which may cheer you but I wouldn't say any of it is exactly laugh out loud material. I'd heard about the true story before (having seen a documentary about it on the BBC a few years back), so I knew roughly what to expect. I thought both Keira Knightley and Jessie Buckley gave good performances, probably moreso Jessie Buckley, who is someone I really rate for her performances. If your interested in seeing the story played out in all its 1970 era bright colours and naffness, you'll find that here certainly - its a good film to potentially start discussion about feminism maybe and generally I thought it's a good film. Maybe not quite good but decent enough to be worth a watch, yes. Oh and I particularly liked that at the end, we're given details about what happened to the characters via text and shown images of the real people who were involved in real life as well - that always helps with such true life stories.
