Liberal American Feminism for girls who listen to Taylor Swift: The Movie.
Whole movie felt like a lecture on feminism from an American 16 year old girl at private school who just found out what the patriarchy is? Absolutely no subtlety. The director needs to learn to show not tell. Trying to battle stereotypes by employing stereotypes in every single minute of the movie seems very illogical.
This movie was a disappointment after all of the hype and praise people are giving it. Or I'm too old for this kind of very, very simple, basic movies. I genuinely don’t know how this movie got almost a billion dollars.
It doesn't even know its own target audience, is it for kids, adults or teens? Far from being a children’s film, this is a highly politicized film, filled with messaging that’s inappropriate for children.
I do think that there really wasn’t any plot. You could tell that the director was like let’s make a movie about American feminism - 'women are great, men are awful. It presented a clear and direct dichotomy between good and evil, with no room for nuance or complexity. You were either with us or with them. For me, that's not feminism. This is feminism for babies, a sweet pink summary of an extremely complex fight for human rights, recognition and equality. A truly feminist representation would display a world where men and women can work together to create a better society.
None of the character has any depth or interesting development. The villain, in particular, is a laughable caricature with motivations as thin as tissue paper. The lack of a compelling plot, deep characters, and memorable dialogue leaves the audience struggling to care about the outcome of the contrived conflicts. Successful films are ones that make you think, ponder, question, or even criticize the plot and its reality, and thus your own reality. Great production design though.
