MISBEHAVIOUR (2020)

Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, the movie personalizes its story with a

manageable handful of characters, including Sally Alexander (a fine Knightley), an
academic. In short, bouncy scenes, she is shown as smart and ambitious, loved by
her family but thwarted by her sexist colleagues, which leads her to join the
nascent women’s liberation movement. Her ostensible opposite is Jennifer Hosten
(Mbatha-Raw), a.k.a. Miss Grenada, who arrives amid a sorority of giggling
contestants. Jennifer isn’t given much to do or say, but Mbatha-Raw makes it clear
that the character has an inner life, with faraway looks that you hope foretell that a
more interesting movie is on the horizon. – NY Times
