Misbehaviour Reviews

The narrative is inconsistent and never quite finds its rhythm as it toggles between characters and issues, but ultimately is pleasing enough and shows a deeper insight than most movies that tackle historical events and big issues.

offers plenty to enjoy, with Kiera Knightley a personable, likeable lead and plenty of hiss-able chauvinists for her to collide with...these fictional females seem rather less interesting than their real-life counterparts as revealed in the final credits.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2024

While the film doesn’t quite land as smoothly as it aims, it’s refreshing to see at least an attempt at intersectional feminism in such a glossy package.

| Feb 13, 2024

Misbehaviour is a poignant film that tells the many sides of the true story of the women activists who disrupted the 1970 Miss World competition.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2023

Misbehaviour stands out in its vibrant storytelling that deftly touches on the nuances of intersectionality, rampant sexism, and different perspectives within the feminist movement, in a lively film that is full of humor.

| Aug 23, 2022

Misbehaviour is an all-girl show, in front of the camera and behind it. And it's a really good story that makes its points with sharp writing, spirited performances and a light touch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2022

It’s fun to watch all these disparate characters and agendas collide.

| Mar 11, 2022

Misbehaviour has noble intentions and pleasant comedy, but the anger that inspired this infamous moment in history is conspicuously absent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 21, 2022

While Misbehaviour boasts an impressive cast and just enough relatable frustration to warrant enjoying, the viewer could imagine a more rugged version of the same story.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2022

The important thing to highlight is the scope that the protest had at that time, and the subsequent changes it managed to impose [Full review in Spanish]

With powerful performances from Keira Knightley and Jessie Buckley, Misbehaviour is empathetic and thought-provoking.

| Aug 28, 2021

Misbehaviour dispenses with the pageantries making for a solid social-political drama.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 17, 2021

The film is a little too well-behaved for a subject meant to be inflammatory and characters understandably angry. Embracing British properness in a broad approach to the era ultimately does a disservice to the stories of these gutsy women.

| Feb 6, 2021

Misbehaviour is an ambitious movie disguised as a feel good Britcom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2021

Misbehaviour is a bit too safe and crowd-pleasing but reminds us that some things are still worth standing up for.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 28, 2021

'Misbehaviour' tells parallel stories about two sets of young women trying to improve things. Both the feminists and the contestants want more and better opportunities - they're just using diametrically opposed methods of getting there.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 22, 2021

A nuanced, well-written slice of very colorful history. Some of the conclusions are a bit on the nose, and Greg Kinnear's nose is a bit off, but I'm glad I experienced this story.

| Dec 17, 2020

A powerful window into this rowdy, angry and game-changing historical moment where gender and race collided

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 3, 2020

If you're a fan of crowdpleasing, character-driven, based-on-real-life British period dramas featuring fab costume and production design, then Misbehaviour will be exactly the end of 2020 treat you've been waiting virtually all year for.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 3, 2020

Featuring a slew of strong performances, it's a film worth your time.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 3, 2020
