“Good intentions, deft performances and vivid dollops of period style and sensibility go a long way to patch over the bumps.”~Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Aroview: Crowd pleasing comedy based on real life events in which a group of women disrupted the live broadcast of the 1970 Miss World competition to protest female objectification in beauty competitions. Keira Knightley plays notable activist Sally Alexander, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw is excellent as Miss Grenada contestant Jennifer Hosten. Expertly mines a winning formula for feel-good British comedy, keeping proceedings polite and breezy.

3 stars (Good Enough) Well produced and entertaining but not at the expense of getting its message through. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) Shows the formation of UK Women's Liberation Movement at University College, London, in 1970. Keira Knightley is convincing as ever but stood out from the other activists & Miss World types but gave sponsor Bob Hope a run for his money. ~Anon
