This movie was extremely my jam, you cowards.
Like what do you mean it was all over the place? No it wasn’t. There was exactly one theme: women rebelling against being defined by men. What other movie were you all seeing? It’s so fun, and I think a lot of people were just turned off by the “cringe” opening. You either got to buy-in on Jessie Buckley’s “this one goes to 11” accent as Mary Shelley, or turn the movie…
Mildred Pierce from Vera’s POV. celluloid fever dream turned technicolor nightmare. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Mia goth turns in a performance that earns her a spot next to Toni Collette and Florence Pugh and Bette Davis. Id say its also a feminist film: Pearl is a monster, yes, but she’s not a cheap archetype of some psycho hosebeast or femme fatale or serial killer. The subversive nature of the movie is in how it allows us to feel equal horror over who is the person is a what’s being done to them; the oppressive societal forces that all but guaranteed her life would be a nightmare.
A+
