a little movie break

Designed--successfully--to make the viewer uncomfortable. I can’t dispute the craft-it’s tremendously well-made and darkly funny-but for me, not so fun. B+.

I love so much about that movie, but there is a horrible misogyny that runs through it that I cannot shake free of the more I think about it.

I agree. I hadn't been able to put my finger on it, but the friend I was watching it with had the same reaction. I agree with her that it would be much better if the kid at the end in the museum were a boy instead of a girl. It wouldn't solve the problem, but it would help.
