A friend asked me whether I watched it and said that she didn’t like it, so I finally made an effort to watch it (rented it on Amazon and watched it in parallel with some boring home activities). And I didn’t like it, exactly for the same reason as my friend didn’t like it: It’s an extremely important topic, and the movie had great potential which, in my opinion, was not fully realized. Yes, there are some excellent dialogues and monologues, but in my opinion, they do not blend into the movie fabric, and the whole movie is losing its point. Maybe I got it wrong, but for me, it sounded like women should not be discriminated against. Instead, men should be discriminated against and removed from everywhere.
There is definitely a problem statement in the movie, and lots of important questions are raised, but then nothing happens.
I take it as a positive thing that at least it raised awareness and prompted many people (of all genders) to speak up. So far, conversations seem to be productive, and we’ll see what will change.
