what was the director thinking? “feminist” agenda full of embarrassingly didactic lessons on morality, reducing both genders to a hollow shell of misguided attempt to indict the society through feeble joke of a tale on sexism, mob mentality and boring exploitation of gore. the best thing about it is the sheer amount of sexy camel toes and half naked and super tight young asses. sure i like to see that who doesnt. but please dont try and tell us this is feminism.
i wish they had shown what its like to be hacked and dragged JUST for being sexual. Not for adultery, promiscuity, crossdressing, hidden odd fetishes etc. While I personally think nobody should be dragged for crossdressing I can see how it can spite a lot of people. But why not show what the mob does to people who were just “traditionally” sexual? Think Jennifer Lawrence or Kate Upton getting Super dragged just for taking nudes for their bfs at the time. The movie should have shown things like that. Not the society getting angry at someone who cheats etc. that takes away its power.
I admit the revenge part was pretty good and all the girls (including the transgender woman) looked hot as hell. So in total that counts for something. But the plot is so convoluted and the moral lesson so off that it really hurts the movie that has otherwise great visual style and decent acting. 4,5/10 from me. 5,5/10 if u are here for the gore, 6,5/10 if for teen ass.
i wish a woman had been involved in writing/directing it an d could perhaps tune the tone to a bit more believably feministic in its true sense. is this what it feels like when a white screenwriter and director makes a movie on oppression of black people and gets it wrong?!
i did like the last scene and music though a lot. anybody here saw it yet?

Should a female director say Reed Morano perhaps given the movie better sensibility? I am seeing this and Life Itself Tuesday. |

I dont know if Reed Morano woukd be required( (I am nor a fan of Handmaids tale for TOO mich feminism :-)) and maybe it didnt even need a female direcotr jist a different director. I will be interested in hearing what tou think of it... |

Dollar Tree find.
I actually had an idea that was VERY similar to this back when the whole Leaving Neverland bullshit came out. As quick as so many sheep were to blindly jump on a bandwagon that ignored all facts, common sense, and even documented history, oh it's okay to demonize a dead man as a pedophile because he's weird, he looked weird, sounded weird, dressed weird, didn't act like everybody else, so he must be the ONLY pedophile in the whole world since he was such a TEXTBOOK case not being like ANYBODY ELSE. Nobody would EVER lie about something like that, not EVEN for fame and fortune, people don't lie about being raped for sympathy and big $$$$$. I always thought as quick as everybody was to buy that and defend it, how different would their tune be if somebody outed them on social media as a pedophile with the same 'proof'? How quickly would an entire neighborhood turn into a Salem witch hunt and everybody turns on one another throwing the same baseless accusations at everyone around them?
That said...I really have no idea where the hell this was going. End first, WTF was up with the marching band scene?
Massive spoilers ahead but since this is the first post in 4 years, what can you expect?
Also, okay, maybe these bitches didn't deserve to be killed, but they weren't likeable either. What is with this unwritten rule we cannot have ANY likeable characters in movies anymore? Oh they go on about 'I've made mistakes but I'm not a bad person', but all we see is the shitty stuff they do, what else should anybody go on?
Oh and I'm sorry not sorry you feel so pressured to take 10,000 NON-sexual nude selfies to send to a couple of complete losers to make yourself feel like you're beautiful, must've sucked to be those millions of women who lived before naked selfies and had NOTHING to make them feel good about themselves.
And talk about hypocrisy, go on about adults lose their shit when their non-existent privacy is violated online, but oooohh when your naked pics get leaked to the whole school, NOW you're panicked, now YOU feel violated, like you had any expectation of privacy on social media, which you freely admitted didn't exist WHILE taking thousands of naked pics of yourself that you were so confident nobody would ever see that you didn't want to.
And what exactly are we supposed to feel sympathetic to to a high school girl who won't sleep with her 40 year old neighbor but will send him sexts and texts every single day and keep her blinds wide open and the lights on so he can see her having sex with another guy?
And oooooh, little high school girls with great big guns and NO recoil and they just handle them like it's breathing, with NO prior implications they know anything about them, and always hit their targets, SOOOO believable.
Also, how did this become a man vs. girl thing? 17,000 people got their emails hacked, there were no cheating housewives getting leaked?
Not a bad idea, could've been a HELL of a lot better.
