Emily Taraskiewicz

So it was riveting and well acted which is always good for a movie but... There was a sense that Emily was the victim of being a powerful woman when honestly I think they were both unhealthy and ultimately terrible. Of course it is painful for your partner to get the job you wanted and thought you were getting- no matter the sex/gender of the people involved. There was zero empathy on the part of the person who got that job which frankly is also bad character. And the bad empathy continued while demanding sex over and over from the person who felt disempowered to begin with. One reacts badly, the other reacts worse and so on from there. Doesn't matter who was bad first- you're both bad- there are no good guys. Just broken people who probably should have gotten therapy from the beginning. The end shouldn't be considered a triumph for feminism at all - that would be a celebration of bad behavior and narcissism equal to that of the person who struggled to handle the first ego blow. So it was interesting to watch and evaluate. Disappointing to read how many people thought she was awesome. (No one catch how quickly she inhabited toxic masculinity herself? It was gross.)
