This is a movie I wish I had seen when I was 16. Feminism, intersectional feminism, white privilege, feminists shaming other feminists for not being feminist enough, how institutions (like a school) still actively uphold the patriarchy and more. A lot gets discussed and I have yet to see a movie about feminism that mentions all these different sides of it.
Because there’s so much to talk about the movie can feel a little rushed, or like the topics aren’t explored in dept enough. Some parts are even a little cheesy but hey, it’s still a teen high school movie. I do genuinely hope this is a movie that reaches lots of young girls to inspire them and call them to action.
Also would like to add that as a feminist punk myself it was amazing seeing so many references to the Riot Grrrl movement and hearing a lot of the music too!!! And they got The Linda Lindas to play??? Yes!!!!
Finally, a good sequel. Good god the animation, it's so beautiful. And the action was so smooth. Also, Pixar better gives us a short movie about Edna babysitting Jack-Jack.
