According to Deadline, the Sarah Gavron-helmed Suffragette opened the London Film Festival last week in its European premiere after bowing at Telluride in early September.

Pathé UK has the timely period drama locally which is being distributed by Fox under their pact (Focus releases Stateside on October 23).
