  HBO's 'Iron Jawed Angels' reinvigorates the story of the suffragettes - The Boston Globe
The phrase "Iron Jawed Angels," on the other hand, connotes an extreme-sports-like empowerment that speaks of youth, drive, and spiritual inner glow.
"Iron Jawed Angels" relies on a disappointingly conventional script, one that delivers stock characters who have no dimensionality, and simplistic plot abbreviations that you'd find in a high school textbook.
The rest of the women of "Iron Jawed Angels," both in NAWSA and in Paul's noble posse, are cardboard figures of either cranky elders or do-or-die followers.

 Iron Jawed Angels Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Although it initially appears to be a sketchily developed historical pageant, the movie gradually finds its dramatic footing in the second hour, when Paul and her supporters put everything on the line for the right to vote.
And to a considerable degree, Iron Jawed Angels does justice to the life of this legendary feminist pioneer, who fought for women's rights until her death in 1977.
The scenes of Paul in prison, where she goes on a hunger strike and endures a brief stay in the prison's asylum wing are vividly directed and acted.

 DVD review of Iron Jawed Angels - DVDTOWN.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In an election year and with the Presidential election only two months away, HBO´s made-for-television movie, "Iron Jawed Angels" presents us with a great opportunity to look back at the long and arduous struggle for women´s equality in terms of voting rights.
"Iron Jawed Angels" centers on the struggles of famous women´s suffragists like Alice Paul (Hillary Swank), Lucy Burns (Frances O´Connor) and a host of other women who were organized under NAWSA (National American Women´s Suffrage Association).
The early 1900´s costumes and sets are all there but the editing style and the contemporary music beat gives the film a modern visual flair and a kind of edginess that is both refreshing and surprising.

Chronicling this overlooked but major chapter in the history of U.S. civil rights, Iron Jawed Angels is an accomplished biopic that covers a lot of ground without sacrificing the personal details of its characters.
Nonetheless, the film excels at depicting the real sacrifices of the women involved, especially in the harrowing prison scenes, as well as in showing the development of nonviolent protest techniques that were later used successfully in other political movements.
Iron Jawed Angels vibrantly brings to life a neglected period of America's civil rights struggle without making it seem like a history lesson.

 dOc DVD Review: Iron Jawed Angels (2004)
But that's just me, the guy who hasn't been able to watch movies the same way since a feminist film class tried to convince him that the entire system of Hollywood filmmaking is built upon the systemic subjugation of women.
It's pretty slow-going, with frequent gaps of silence interspersed with mundane details about where a scene was shot or how much research went into it.
Iron Jawed Angels is a glossy, entertaining history lesson that’s a bit rushed and lacking in three-dimensional characters, but it does manage, particularly in its latter half, to illustrate the struggle women went through to get the vote.

 HBO Films: Iron Jawed Angels: Synopsis
IRON JAWED ANGELS recounts for a contemporary audience a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment.
Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920.
The women's resistance to being force-fed earns them the nickname "The Iron Jawed Angels." However, it is truly their wills that are made of iron, and their courage inspires a nation and changes it forever.
