I have no idea why this movie is getting a pass from so many people, Critical Drinker and RLM included. It is comically bad and decidedly feminist. I get that expectations are depressingly low these days, but this turd doesn’t deserve nearly so much acclaim.
I was just thinking the other day how far our expectations have fallen.... from regular people to critics, we often rate a modern movie FAR HIGHER than it deserves, because of how shit we expect movies to be in general now.
Vanilla Sky was a fairly amazing, well written, cerebral movie released in 2001 but critics & audiences hated it. Nowadays it’s sorta a cult classic, but back then it was shit on because it had decent competition. If that movie was released now, it’d get all the accolades. You can say the same about numerous movies from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
Same with Jordan Peele’s shitty horror movies. They suck… but because they have this air of pretentious ‘art’ and it’s a Black guy making them, critics adore. It’s a sad state of affairs.
