kevenquinlan T @RT75276071 Nov 14 Women's lib true story. Who cares and it was impossibly boring. See more Ed . @RT01276001 Aug 29 Most unladylike behavior. Sometimes a feminist’s gotta do what a woman’s gotta do. These beauty pageants were extremely popular entertainment in their day. At one point, the Miss America pageant was the year's highest rated television event. Times change, and now men have the internet as a source for objectifying women.

I found myself saying, WHAT?? Oh yeah, RIGHT, like NO WAY!" more times than I could count. Major disappointment all around.

Though a somewhat light movie, it dealt with respect with other issues, too, like apartheid and racism in general. Not quite clear if the jury really thought the 2 black women were the top candidates or if there was some political aspect to their decision, like there was to send 2 candidates from South Africa to "whitewash" the segregation reality.

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. If I was given the choice, I'd prefer to watch the BBC documentary with library footage of the actual event, rather than re-watch this film but it is a fairly rounded film none the less.
