Suffragette, the period drama hailed as "a thoroughly valuable and absorbing film" by The Guardian, is now available to watch for free on Channel 4's streaming service.
The 2015 flick, which aired on Film4 on Monday (21 July), boasts a stacked cast with Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne-Marie Duff and Meryl Streep uniting to tell the story of women's suffrage in early 20th-century Britain.
Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson and Samuel West also star, while Abi Morgan, known for penning The Iron Lady and all four seasons of The Split, wrote the screenplay.
Garnering critical acclaim, Suffragette has received a rating of 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics homing in on Mulligan's performance in particular.
"A rousing, demonstrative tale, and Mulligan not only shows the right sort of ardour, but also adds a bit of subtlety," raved The Times.

"A wonderfully involving, moving Carey Mulligan and the spirited ensemble around her flesh out a handsomely crafted, timely look at why and how far people are willing to go for a cause," wrote Empire.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone noted: "In a sea of Hollywood escapism, Suffragette – flaws and all – is a movie that matters."
Speaking with The Hollywood News, Mulligan explained what drew her to the project. "It was the idea that this massive moment happened in our history and our human rights history in Britain, and we'd never really talked about it or had a film about it," she said.

"A large swathe of the population had no idea. So I thought what an extraordinary opportunity to be a part of such a historic film. And also, what an amazing team to work with, with these women."
During an interview with Refinery29, Mulligan added that thanks to Suffragette's "many educational aspects", she believes it should be shown in schools. "It's something we should all know about and appreciate more," she stated.
Suffragette is now available to watch for free on Channel 4's streaming service.
