good movie...BUT
I really enjoyed the style of this movie, and I thought it was done well. However I had some major issues that I just couldn't get past:
1. The fact the director seemed to use minority groups as a sort of 'token' for unusualness, or as something to add an extra bit of quirk to the story. Eg: a dwarf, a blind person, a homeless person, a lesbian, a poc as a lover...and all used as elements to enhance the main storyline who were all standard white women (except for lesbian)
2. That the main characters WERE standard, thin, white, attractive women. And a couple of their love interests were pretty questionable...like attractiveness levels were just not matched when it came to their male partners
3. The main issue: that this was written and directed by a man about women. At least he addressed this in one of the film's lines "only a fool would speculate about the life of a woman"
Does anyone else agree? It just didn't sit right with me.
