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

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

Misbehaviour tackles some serious themes, but it does so in a thoroughly entertaining fashion.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2020

Caught in a tug-of-war between these two inimical angles, the film never blows up with the anarchic fury you're hoping for - it's polite and balanced to a dithering degree.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2020

Overall... it's highly enjoyable with strong sequences involving mothers and daughters.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2020

It's not really going to dig deep or push hard, but it's going to make a statement in a way that is lovely, warm, and cozy.

Stellar performances can only carry it so far, and when "Misbehaviour" finally puts all its disparate pieces and people together, the result isn't exciting so much as inevitable and hammily handled.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 28, 2020

Keira Knightley and Jessie Buckley achieve both laughs and drama...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 26, 2020

Good intentions, deft performances and vivid dollops of period style and sensibility go a long way to patch over the bumps.

| Sep 25, 2020

The separate storylines help the film avoid the mistakes made in similar movies, particularly those dealing with feminist history.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2020

It leaves breathing space for us to consider all of the experiences that went into the protest and what it represented to the women involved.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 25, 2020

It... has a toothless vision of protest and empowerment that's doomed to fail its subject because its makers don't (can't) risk making the audience uncomfortable.

| Sep 24, 2020

Misbehaviour is a film that makes its characters compete with each other for screen time and resonance and social messaging. Ultimately, no one goes home a winner.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 23, 2020

I thought it was actually done very elegantly...

| Mar 30, 2020

The film's failures are ... a timely reminder that feminist filmmaking can only be effective when it's truly intersectional.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 22, 2020

Misbehaviour makes for especially mortifying viewing in a country where a two-day beauty pageant is still a ratings winner. Equality activists might like to pay close attention.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 19, 2020

Lowthorpe's movie is an intellectual own goal that celebrates the very subject it purports to decry: the objectification of pretty girls.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2020

Far from upsetting, this is a feelgood film, in the end, that British speciality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2020

The film is called Misbehaviour, but a timid script belies mischief of any sort.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 14, 2020

An engaging, if decidedly disjointed production that's often let down by its inability to decide which story it wants to tell.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2020

Knightley and Mbatha-Raw headline an excellent band of British talent, but the film's focus feels sadly misguided. There's a great story within Misbehaviour - we just don't get to see enough of it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2020
