Suffrage

The story develops with a speed of lightning. I recommend watching this movie twice in order to enjoy every detail in the plot.

The film raises important political and social issues but wraps them up in a light-hearted comedy, so it never gets preachy. Moreover, the movie allows us to get a glimpse into the colorit of Southern Californian life.

Suffrage is a sequel to the 2021 movie Natasha Hall. This time a private investigator, Natasha Hall, is trying to solve the murder of the mother of one of Hollywood's most famous actresses, Rebecca Lyone.

Cat Black who plays Natasha Hall is wonderful and charismatic, and I think she can play absolutely anything: from character comedy to psychological drama.

I stumbled upon this ambitious indie one night: feminist one liners, old school raunch, political conspiracy, and a loose reference to Altman's "The Long Goodbye?" Yes, please!

The story revolves around Private Investigator Natasha Hall (played by Cat Black), hired to investigate a series of murders surrounding reclusive actress Rebecca Lyonne. In the true spirit of classic PI films, Natasha uncovers a cast of quirky characters as she traverses Los Angeles in an attempt to solve the murders -- all while working on her relationship with reporter Bobby Hoffman (Director Joe Black).

Hall's performance calls to mind some of the best moments of character actor Merritt Wever and carries the film throughout.

It's a fun ride across the City with intrigue, fart jokes, political references and Eric Roberts thrown in for good measure! Worth a watch!

"Suffrage", directed by Joe Black, is a captivating murder mystery that keeps viewers guessing until the very end. The film centers around the murder of Andie Newmar, a lonely and seductive older woman, whose death plunges her neighbor Natasha Hall, a private investigator extraordinaire, into a web of deception and intrigue.

As Natasha embarks on a quest to clear her name and uncover the truth behind Andie's murder, she encounters a host of colorful characters, each with their own motives and secrets. From the aspiring actor Rusty Keiser to the world-famous actress Rebecca Lyonne, every suspect adds a layer of complexity to the investigation.

Director Joe Black masterfully blends elements of suspense, dark comedy, and drama, creating a gripping narrative that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. The film's witty dialogue and clever plot twists make for an entertaining and thought-provoking viewing experience.

The performances in "Suffrage" are top-notch, with standout performances from the cast, particularly Natasha Hall as the determined investigator and Rebecca Lyonne as the enigmatic actress. The chemistry between the characters adds depth to the story, keeping viewers engaged from start to finish.

Overall, "Suffrage" is a must-watch for fans of murder mysteries and dark comedies. With its intriguing plot, stellar performances, and sharp direction, the film is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This crime mystery satire, gives a fun spin on the this genre of movies. The writing was good, and the characters were all interesting. I liked the locations, and the customs. The humor was unique, as the main protagonist solved the case. It had a great backdrop of music, as the plot thickened. It was a great escape, and it evoked images of the classic film Dragnet. I also thought of Naked Gun at times. It was the first of it's kind the way it combined all of the crime, mystery, and comedy with a political theme, and a woman as the lead character. There were some good set up punchlines, which made for some fun surprises.

This film is just terrific! I really enjoyed it! I enjoyed the full range of the characters. They were a hoot! Whoever did the casting did a wonderful job. I though all the cast was very well suited for their roles. I very much enjoyed Natasha Hall played by Cat Black. Cat Black was excellent in this role. She was very convincing and was the glue that held everything together in my book. I enjoyed Eric Roberts character too but I've always been an Eric Roberts fan. The pacing was good in this film. This goes to the credit of writer/director Joe Black who also played Bobby Hoffman in the film. The film moved along at a nice clip and never hit any flat spots in my book. This one gets a solid thumbs up from me!
