Well, I did want to see this film. . .
New York Times review of Iron Jawed AngelsI love the story of the suffragists, but apparently this film is too "Hollywood" to tell the true story. I hope people don't watch this film and get the wrong idea. Damn. I was really looking forward to the movie, but if they aren't going to give Alice Paul a realistic portrayal, I don't know if it's even worth my time. According to the review, they add a romantic interest for Alice Paul to soften her up a little. Seriously! I saw it in the ads, but I don't know enough about Alice Paul's personal life to attest to whether she had a romantic interest or not. . .
I guess I'll have to wait til Ken Burns makes a documentary on her.
