It is insane that Promising Young Woman is getting the praise it is. (She should win for best actor). What a loving mood piece of incoherent Twitter female rage that film was (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I follow a ton of very talented female creative‘s on Twitter. The amount of poo poo that they have to put up with on a daily basis I can’t even imagine. That being said, a lot of the anger on Twitter it’s just that, anger that has no end in sight. But in a sexist society, perhaps there isn’t a way. The movie has the same problem. If it’s trying to make a point, it’s incoherent, and doesn’t follow its own logic internally. That being said, It’s still well-made, and she crushes the role.

I'm curious what people in this thread actually want to win best picture. I'm going through this next week and watching what I haven't seen yet. (I haven't seen Judas, The Father or The sound of Metal yet.)

Timeless Appeal posted:The only thing that I dislike about Promising Young Woman is that it revels a bit in implications of the main character coordinating the rapes of other women. One of those moments is pretty immediately shown as false, but one of the other moments does hang for a long time and you don't know it didn't happen till the end. A character is still forced to deal with the shame and trauma of thinking she was raped. I think there's an argument to be made about the movie actually creating a dynamic in which some of its audience members may indeed passively cheer on a sexual assault, but it all seems false to me. It also creates this false dichotomy of there being a sort of class of women who are immune from rape or sexual assault. Rape culture is epidemic, and survivors can find themselves complicit in abuse. I’ve been vocal of not liking it here, but I agree with what you said. Also, the main character breaks her own logic because the plot matters more in the end than the character being real, or being consistent.
