Editorial Review: Description: Oscar-winner Hilary Swank stars in a fresh and contemporary look at a pivotal event in American history, telling the true story of how a pair of defiant and brilliant young activists took the women's suffrage movement by storm, putting their lives at risk to help American women win the right to vote. DVD Features: Audio Commentary:With Director Katja von Garnier and writer Sally Robinson Featurette Other:HBO Films Spot Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Iron Jawed AngelsGood movie - accurately portrayed - except for one scene that seemed to be added to make this movie a little more risque. Other than that 30 seconds to one minute scene (that seemed a little out of context) this was a great movie. Rating:  - I was enlightenedMy right to vote - never gave it much thought. I now have a new appreciation for the privilege; and recommend this film to anyone not familiar with this piece of our history. You'll be enlightened. Rating: - Great Movie about Women's RightsEven though the title of this movie may sound a little strange, it is a movie worth seeing. The movie focuses on the efforts and determination of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns and their quest to give women the right to vote. I watched this movie for the first time only a couple weeks before the election in November of this year. By watching this movie before I voted for the next President for the first time, I began to realize that if these women and the others who shared their dream did not speak out, ...

It made such a huge impact on both of us we BOTH bought a copy. We're encouraging everyone to watch this video. Very true-to-life - no "fluff" and no "sparkle" - just the facts portrayed in a very professional movie format. I'll never take my right to vote for granted again. Ever. Rating: - Fantastic suffrage lessonI bought this video after getting an email about how Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and their fellow suffragettes were treated after protesting and petitioning for the right to vote. I knew I would want it in my DVD collection, but thought it might be something for my classroom as well. I teach social studies and thought it would be a good addition to my election lessons. With the exception of a couple inappropriate moments (easily taken care of with a properly placed poster board over the television screen) ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
