Political and religious leaders in Switzerland cited the Divine Order as the reason why women still did not have to right to vote as late as 1970. Director Petra Volpe explores this surprising history through the story of Nora, a seemingly unremarkable housewife from a quaint village who must learn to become an unflinching suffragette leader. After organizing the village's first meeting to support women getting the right to vote, her family is mocked, bullied, and shunned. Despite the obstacles and backlash, Nora perseveres and convinces the village women to go on strike, abandoning their homes and families. A strong ensemble cast brings the story to its inspirational conclusion when Swiss women finally secure the right to vote in 1971. The Divine Order is a heartfelt and captivating film about regular people demanding their right to an equal voice. (Tribeca Film Festival)

I rarely come across Swiss films, but it's always worth it and I learn something new and interesting. Switzerland is often perceived as an island of democracy, neutrality, and liberalism, so few would guess that women had to wait for the right to vote until the seventies – and in one canton even until the nineties. The film both humorously and seriously depicts this politically embarrassing situation for women. A pleasant film.

The topic of women's empowerment is presented in an entertaining way. I was surprised at how long Switzerland resisted granting women the right to vote. The retro atmosphere of the seventies was portrayed perfectly. My only slight reservation would be the ending, which is a bit too sunny. (70%)
