Misbehaviour Reviews

Apr 14, 2025

Directorially intuitive in a complicated stance as this solidly written, surprisingly tense drama shows the argumentative roots without a considerate balance when the performative edge subtly gestures there’s more regarding the issue whilst shown under sympathetic delusion with reverent imagery. (B)

A total waste of a great cast of actors. About halfway through, it goes stupid, stops caring about credibility, and goes for the ridiculous. I found myself saying, WHAT?? Oh yeah, RIGHT, like NO WAY!" more times than I could count. Major disappointment all around.

Although the ending was pretty cringe, this movie is still one of the most beautiful movie i recently watched.

The film takes place in 1970 in London , durving the famous Miss world competition, 6 women gathen together to form an anti-sexism association. They are courageous,determined women who are all fighting for the same goal : to fight for freedom , and against inequalities ( in the against face of ) men. Among them Jenny,Sue, Sarah , Jame, Jo and Philipa. I like the movie because they respected the atmosphere and the real story , the revolt in the middle of filming thé show.

For me the best part of the movie is when Bop Hope was bombarded by feminists.This moment is really funny . In my opinion it's not a good or a bad film .It's good to wtch this when you are with your family or your friends , but it's really less funny when you are solo .The actors were not bad , shes played really well .

I like Misbehaviour it deals with Missworld 1970 and women's revolution. Bob Hope is sexist. My favourite scene is when they throw some flour bombs on stage!

Missbehaviour is a great movie dealing with women's liberation in the 70's. In my opinion, director Philippa Lowthorpe realised a true historical movie about the events at Miss world 1970. The real feminist present at the show, Sarah Wilson, explained that it does make her feel very proud and she hopes that people can be inspired by the movie. My favourite part of the film is when the winner of Miss World and Sally met in the toilets and they talk for a minute because at this moment the two different worlds of these women are united and we realised that they are both fighting sexism and racism.

Enjoyable depiction of the historic beginning of the British women's lib movement in the 1970s. Though a somewhat light movie, it dealt with respect with other issues, too, like apartheid and racism in general. Not quite clear if the jury really thought the 2 black women were the top candidates or if there was some political aspect to their decision, like there was to send 2 candidates from South Africa to "whitewash" the segregation reality.

I thought this was a reasonably well made film based on a true story. I'm a little uncomfortable that its categorised as a comedy - the issue of womens rights and the objectification of young women is hardly a laughing matter and if anything such issues have only got worse in the following decades. I suppose there are some moments where the activists are shown in high spirits, which may cheer you but I wouldn't say any of it is exactly laugh out loud material. I'd heard about the true story before (having seen a documentary about it on the BBC a few years back), so I knew roughly what to expect. I thought both Keira Knightley and Jessie Buckley gave good performances, probably moreso Jessie Buckley, who is someone I really rate for her performances. If your interested in seeing the story played out in all its 1970 era bright colours and naffness, you'll find that here certainly - its a good film to potentially start discussion about feminism maybe and generally I thought it's a good film. Maybe not quite good but decent enough to be worth a watch, yes. Oh and I particularly liked that at the end, we're given details about what happened to the characters via text and shown images of the real people who were involved in real life as well - that always helps with such true life stories. If I was given the choice, I'd prefer to watch the BBC documentary with library footage of the actual event, rather than re-watch this film but it is a fairly rounded film none the less.

Set in 1970 during the Miss World pageant held in London, a group of women make a plan to disrupt the proceedings in one of the first big women's liberation movements. Keira Knightley and Jesse Buckley star as well as Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Greg Kinnear as Bob Hope. Interesting film based on true events and people. Buckley as always is a standout.

An interesting story. Well done. I recommend.

I know it's hard to believe that a film directed by, written by and starring women about a 'women's issue' is derided on the internet, but here we are. In reality, this is a really good film about two different sides of injustice, and how those searching for liberation engage with each other when two just agendas might appear to be in conflict. Excellent performances, and the light comic tone doesn't lessen the impact.

Flawed, but its energetic and vivid story-telling alongside stellar performances achieve creating a compelling film that benefits from important and timely themes.

A movie with a stellar cast and based around such a great story could only be commandeered by a radical left group of disillusioned man haters in Hollywood. If the filmmakers had focused more on racial equality during the time period and the significanceof the events the film depicts, it could have had such a lasting impact with such a talented cast. Unfortunately, instead, it was crafted into a tool for a misguided cult to take shots at a fictional 21st century Civil rights issue known as the patriarchal society. What a colossal disappointment.

'Misbehaviour' tells three different stories intermingled. The centerpiece is the 1970 Miss World competition and just about everything offshoots from that. Bob Hope loves women and the women's liberation movement loves women's rights. Greg Kinnear portrays Hope. Well sometimes he does. Other times he's just himself with some distracting makeup. While I didn't know anything about this story, it's safe yet fine. It's not deep and eager to make you feel good, so much so, it takes away from what in my opinion the film should have been about. Also, there's a lot of filler here. Can't anyone write a movie for a big studio? A person of color winning is almost glossed over, which may have been the goal, but it didn't work for me. Final Score: 5.0/10

Misbehaviour is a solidly executed —- albeit formulaic —- retelling of a grossly under-explored part of our history, and boasts enough spectacle and feel-good moments to stay watchable —— even compelling thanks to the strength of its powerhouse female cast. Though unlike the strong women at its centre, it's a shame that those behind the camera quite often lack the strength to reach below the subject's sensationalistic surface. Iroh's grade: C

An important moment in social justice. Every step is important in making the world more fair and just and this movie does a great job of telling the story of one of the steps.
