Suffragette couldn’t be more Oscar bait-y if it tried. A period piece hinging on set design and emotive performances dealing with a plight that couldn’t be more vogue in Hollywood at the moment, it has the rough filmmaking of an indie director and the sheen of a studio production, with grain even added to certain shots to accentuate the time setting.
And, in a decision by the casting director done explicitly to add one to the number of nominations on the home video advertising, Meryl Streep stars in a bit-part (read: two scenes and some still photographs) as Emmeline Pankhurst. She’ll get a Best Supporting Actress nod for sure, although once again it’s off the strength of her career as opposed to what’s on offer here.
