Misbehaviour

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
