Oh honey. This film can’t get past its own projections. I went in open! Who doesn’t want to indulge in a fun little justice fantasy against misogyny and patriarchal power in the workplace?
'Send Help' centres on a familiar genre dynamic any woman recognizes, but is flattened by a total lack of self-awareness. The protagonist (who is Rachel McAdams btw) is aggressively over-caricatured –– socially, emotionally, aesthetically. The movie felt way too invested in humiliating her.
Overall, it was more…
