Nora's life, too, has been unaffected; she is a retiring, quiet person, well liked by everyone - until she begins to campaign publicly and pugnaciously for women's right to vote, an issue that will be put before the male voters on February 7th, 1971.

Movie Reviews

TheWrap - 9/10 by Todd GilchristVolpe’s specificity with each characterization, including many of the men, humanizes what would otherwise be an issue-driven movie, and lends it an immediacy and resonance that fuels audience sympathies, not to mention understanding.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Stephanie MerryThe movie still holds power, mostly thanks to Leuenberger’s arresting, self-contained performance as Nora. She plays the character as an enigma, the last person you’d expect to lead a cause.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by Jared MobarakThe Divine Order packs a lot into its brisk 96-minute runtime. But it never feels forced in the process.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Glenn KennyThe most pleasurable part of watching this Nora’s story is seeing how the males in her life have to make room for her, and do some learning themselves.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 8/10 by Julia CooperThe Divine Order plays up the fun of feminist empowerment with its anthems (You Don't Own Me, Respect), and lightens the tension with a modern-woman makeover for Nora.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Ren JenderThough the story has a predictable ebb and flow, the film includes some stunning moments
Arizona Republic - 7/10 by Bill GoodykoontzThe course of the film's story is somewhat predictable and played broadly. But where Volpe's work really shines is when it makes the bigger issue personal.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Sheri LindenWithin the story's sometimes too-neat outline, Volpe lets most of her characters breathe.
Indiewire - 7/10 by David EhrlichThe Divine Order is as milquetoast as these things get, but Volpe’s film finds real value by emphasizing process over politics, by glossing over the eventual vote in favor of knuckling down on how one act of courage can spark a blaze that’s big enough to burn the whole system to the ground.
Variety - 7/10 by Nick SchagerThough the film’s feel-good construction undercuts its ability to surprise, Petra Volpe’s cine-history lesson remains a mainstream crowd-pleaser adept at inspiring and amusing in equal measure.
