Before Suffragette officially opened the London Film Festival on Wednesday night – and demonstrators invaded the red carpet in a move that would probably have had the original suffragettes cheering – London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, raced across town from the official media screening to the film’s press conference. All to be in the presence of a screen legend.

Surrounded by controversy and protest, the London film festival has opened with the European premiere of SUFFRAGETTE starring Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep and directed by Sarah Gavron about the ‘Votes for Women’ campaigns that led to a change in the law in favour of women voting rights. The film is inspirational and I predict it will become a must-watch in secondary schools. I agree with those critics who said that SUFFRAGETTE is the best film of the year. I would add that this is the most meaningful and inspirational film in 2015.
