“This is definitely one of the better movies out there when it comes to story, food for thought and moral lessons (even though most people seem to miss what the point they were trying to make is). Could have done without a lot of the dialogue and should have been polished a bit more before the script was finalized, but overall I loved the style and the strong points it did have were amazing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor those who think this is a feministu0026#39;s power fantasy, itu0026#39;s not, it does introduce the narrative of men not being able to handle power and the u0026quot;womenu0026#39;s clubu0026quot; that punishes the ones who abuse it, but it does challenge all of that. The writer/director has a lot of talent and is actually a he, if you hadnu0026#39;t checked that yet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile I did enjoy it quite a bit, it could have been so much better. It had such powerful blasts of creativity and originality, but fell so flat during a lot of the dialogue scenes, especially as the protagonist was being introduced. It was surprisingly in touch with reality, you never feel like thereu0026#39;s a holier-than-thou protagonist and bad, bad antagonist, the movie manages to both portray how not black-and-white things are and still have you know who youu0026#39;re supposed to root for.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003etl:dr Iu0026#39;m sad it isnu0026#39;t as amazing as it could have been, but you wonu0026#39;t be wasting your time watching it.”
