    Description of Iron Jawed Angels:
    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

    Iron Jawed Angels Reviews:
    Much better than I expected 5 Star Review
    2009-11-10 - 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

    Every Woman Should See This 5 Star Review
    2009-10-30 - 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!

    Iron-jawed angels 5 Star Review
    2009-10-13 - A very down-to-earth depiction of history, showing not icons but real women working for the right to vote.

    No Complaints 5 Star Review
    2009-08-24 - I was very satisfied with this movie. It was in EXCELLENT condition, and there was nothing wrong with the cover as well. I was very pleased with this product, and I love this movie. If you enjoy a movie that will move you, then I would defonitely recommend that you buy this one...you will not be dissapointed.

    Thank you Ironed Jawed Angels! 5 Star Review
    2009-08-18 - I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of the Ironed Jawed Angels until the HBO movie came up as a netflix suggestion. I do not know the actual story and order of events, but I think the movie did a great job illustrating the struggle and sacrifices our ancestors made to grant females the right to vote. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it! Thank you women suffragists!

    As an aside, I've never liked Hilary Swank before, and I absolutely loved her in this film!

    Now off to find a biography on Alice Paul and Lucy Burns to add to my "to be read" pile...
