Netflix is removing Lesley Manville and Jessie Buckley’s “must-watch” period drama very soon

by

The popular movie Misbehaviour, starring Lesley Manville and Jessie Buckley, will no longer be available on Netflix after March 24th. Released in 2020, the film tells the true story of a group of women from the Women’s Liberation Movement who famously protested the 1970 Miss World competition in London.

Philippa Lowthorpe’s film, Misbehaviour, features a fantastic cast including Keira Knightley and Oscar winner Jessie Buckley, who play feminist activists Sally Alexander and Jo Robinson.

The cast also includes Lesley Manville as Dolores Hope, the wife of Bob Hope (played by Greg Kinnear), and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as beauty pageant contestant Jennifer Hosten.

The series also features performances by Keeley Hawes, Phyllis Logan, Rhys Ifans, Suki Waterhouse, Ruby Bentall, Emma Corrin, Luke Thompson, Emma D’Arcy, John Heffernan, Alexa Davies, and Lily Newmark.

After it came out, Misbehaviour was highly praised and earned an 87% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning critics and audiences generally loved it.

According to The Guardian, this strange but true story from pop culture history is uniquely British in its humor and is told with a lot of charm and enjoyment.

Similarly, Screen Daily praised the film, noting that just like a beauty queen can stumble while accepting a crown, it’s easy for a film to falter. However, they described Philippa Lowthorpe’s Misbehaviour as a remarkably steady and well-executed movie.

Both audiences and critics loved the movie, and fans are sharing their positive reactions. One IMDb user praised the supporting cast and called Misbehaviour a “must-watch,” describing it as genuinely enjoyable and heartwarming entertainment.

Another reviewer praised “Misbehaviour,” calling it a compelling story that moves at a good pace. They highlighted strong acting and an engaging plot. While the filmmaking wasn’t groundbreaking, it was solid and effectively served the story by focusing on the characters and their message.

Misbehaviour will leave Netflix after 24 March.
