Divine Order, The (12A)

Comedy, Drama

In 1971, a young housewife organizes the women of her town to petition for the right to vote.

The critical consensus

Funny and heartfelt tale of female empowerment focusing on women's suffrage in Switzerland.

****(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 05/03/2018

The humour may be broad, but there’s no denying the power of this story in which a housewife finds liberation in 1970s Switzerland.

***(*)(*)Cath Clarke, The Guardian, 09/03/2018

Carrying echoes of Made In Dagenham and Educating Rita, this heartfelt story of female empowerment features an irresistible performance from Leuenberger.
