If I was Joy and Corey Michael Smith with his Ringo Starr looking ass haircut pulled out something I can do a medieval torture device that he was going to stick up my vagina. Then proceed to tell me to relax I would kick him in the face. Bitch it took me 14 years of living to get over my fear of needles you expect me to not panic when you pull out that THING that you’re gonna stick up my vagina!? EXUSE ME??

The girl who Joy was driving was so real for that 😭😭 also she’s so pretty and her hair was amazing. It’s so off-topic, but I just had to say it.

“Thank you for making me feel like Picasso” i don’t think you want someone making you feel like Picasso, he was a really shitty guy.

I love the story this film told, but my issue is that I feel like it was a little dramatic at the end(?) everything else in this film was amazing. But it’s just the ending that I don’t know how to feel about

For a film made in 2022 this was very much giving white feminist. The single black character articulates the unique struggle of black women during this time exactly once, giving “we know we need to mention it so this story doesn’t wholly center white women but really we don’t care that much”. Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver do an amazing job, although the overall plot is extremely passive given the film’s 2 hour run time. Unfortunately while this film is somewhat lackluster, it rings true much more than I wished it did in the modern era
