With a $14 million budget, Suffragette aimed high as Oscar bait, showcasing a powerful story about women's rights with stellar performances from Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep. Despite its timely theme and strong cast, the film didn’t receive any Oscar nominations, though it did earn some recognition in other award circuits. Critics felt it lacked emotional depth, making its message seem a bit too one-dimensional. Directed by Sarah Gavron in 2015, the film didn’t quite strike the chord it was hoping for.
