The film unfolds with an initial tone of male chauvinism, prompting a contemplation of the possibility of deeper layers. However, numerous moral transgressions within the storyline overshadow any sense of boundary-breaking, leading me to question whether it should be showcased at all. The explicit portrayal of these elements to a wide audience fosters a disconcerting normalcy, emphasizing that the depicted aspects are far from ordinary.
This movie just doesn’t resonate with a middle-class individual possessing progressive ideals yet enjoying mainstream cinema. Despite my anticipation of discovering a moral compass within the narrative, I found myself adrift in the final 30 minutes, anxiously awaiting an exit from the theater.
Let’s explore new boundaries in cinema that lead us in different, positive directions.
