Sinopsis(1)
1970, el certamen de Miss Mundo, el programa de televisión más visto de la época, se celebra en Londres. En pleno directo, el recién creado Movimiento de Liberación de las Mujeres, liderado por Sally Alexander (Keira Knightley) interrumpe la retransmisión argumentando que el concurso no sólo degrada a las participantes, sino a todas las mujeres. Al reanudarse el programa, la elección de la ganadora provoca un gran revuelo: no es la favorita sueca, sino la candidata de la isla caribeña de Granada (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), la primera mujer negra en ser coronada Miss Mundo. Mientras Miss Granada ve el concurso como una oportunidad para dignificar a la mujer negra y darle el papel que le corresponde en la sociedad, el Movimiento lo ve como una forma más de fomentar el machismo y el sexismo en los medios. En cuestión de unas horas, una audiencia global fue consciente de que romper las normas, a veces, es necesario. (Vértice Cine)

Misbehaviour has a strong theme – on one side, a beauty pageant with all its positives and (especially) negatives, on the other side, a revolutionary movement for women's rights. So it's a real shame that the execution is surprisingly shallow and lacklustre. It was interesting and enlightening to go back fifty years to the backstage of the Miss World and women's movements, but on the whole, there aren’t any strong and memorable moments. I'm not saying that I require any play on emotions, besides the film offered plenty of material to think about. However, I felt all along that it was simply missing something substantial. It felt like a fiction documentary conveying historical facts rather than a historical drama.

We've seen plenty of British films like this—a historical snapshot with a touch of lighthearted absurdity. Sometimes it works when the filmmakers really pour their heart into it, but here it felt more like a routine period drama with that typical British perspective. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but nothing that stands out either.

After the trailer, I expected a lot of comedies and a little bit of a heist, but I didn't get either. Genre-wise, it remains a family-friendly atmosphere and thematically, a few correct social or racial values are presented. Although I completely agree with them, they come at a time when there are plenty of similar messages in every corner of the film industry. They don't differentiate themselves in any way, don't stand out anywhere, and most of the time miss the point. It's a shame because pure British gold can be seen in the supporting roles of noble mature ladies.

I certainly wouldn't call this movie a comedy. There’s not much to laugh about here, on the contrary, the pretty serious issues of gender equality and racial discrimination are being addressed. The story based on real events is unfortunately handled in a rather uninspiring way. There is a noticeable lack of tension at the tensest moments. The undeniable positives of the film, however, are the good performances by most of the actors and the accurately captured retro atmosphere of the 1970s. (60%)
