Poor Things
calling this movie anti or pro-feminist feels too simple, as it really depends on your framework, and the film kinda invites conflicting readings. I didn’t like that the movie ignored how sex work could harm women’s mental health, but at the same time I liked how nasty the men who judged bella for her desires and choices looked like.
even though the problem of sex work exists today, I’m afraid that unfortunately the need for representing ideas of feminine sexual liberation stiiiill exists as well, and it’s very important. it’s soooo controversial, but eventually the movie had me. also, loved the depiction of typical rich “socialists”, felt strangely familiar
