Free the Nipple: Directed by Lina Esco. With Lina Esco, Lola Kirke, Casey LaBow, Monique Coleman. A group of women launch a movement to remove the censor of women’s breasts all over America.

“The people exclaiming this was somehow about more than just the right to have bare breasts in public – where exactly was that in the plot? You, like the movie, are romanticizing and over thinking very petty things.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think itu0026#39;s a great cause – women should definitely be allowed to walk around topless in any state of this nation. However, to say that they were somehow pushing for some grander agenda that went as far as being called a revolution? Come on. Their agenda didnu0026#39;t even register as a microscopic piece of dust on the radar of u0026quot;revolutionu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere wasnu0026#39;t much of a plot to this story, other than u0026quot;letu0026#39;s get super insanely cool looking shots, mostly in slow-mo, of us girls looking insanely cool and counter-culture likeu0026quot;, to that end, they did that in spades, and is the only reason I gave this film one more star than 1.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is a tiny love story between the two protagonists, which never exactly reaches an arc, and is just forgotten about by the end of the film – there were too many shots of women looking empowered and cool in slow motion to be had, I guess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe whole film is just a self indulgent u0026quot;look how cool/edgy I amu0026quot; montage, with barely any kind of a story behind it. Three of the main characters you sort of connect with, and the rest are almost non-existent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe funniest part about the whole story, is that they never even achieved any of their goals, but the ending ends like they indeed created some sort of cultural revolution. No, you just wasted a bunch of money that was invested in you, by spray painting and stickering public property. No legislation was changed, no social movement started to gain momentum. If I had invested money in those girls, I would be pretty angry – just like whoever invested money in this worthless film.”
