Yes, this is a perfect sentence ;)
And it would be "Vous êtes-vous raséE ce matin ?" if you talked to a woman!
Bonne journée !

No, there's only agreement with the subject when the helping verb is être - see https://french.kwiziq.com/my-languages/french/view/431

Isn't Joué a verb? Therefore it does not take a feminine form. Isn't it so?

Bonjour Claudia,
Joué is a past participle, and past participles do take a feminine form, which is called "agreement." There are different types of agreement depending on the verb.
In this case, the only time joué requires agreement is when it's preceded by a direct object; for example, J'aime la musique que tu as jouée.

"Sont-elles parties avant la fin du film?" I was marked partially correct for this answer. Why?

Hi Graham,
the sentence you quote looks perfectly correct to me. I would need the full text of the question to understand better what the question was aiming at specifically.
