Disappointed in this one. Goes in the same bucket as the Knives Out movies for me in terms of "films that are entertaining enough comedies but get a ton of praise for being brilliant social satire when they're really, really not." Set design was great, as were the performances, and I think I even noticed Robbie's makeup job becoming less and less "perfect" as the film went on and she became more "human" but its battle of the sexes stuff just boils down to a bunch of annoying culture war poo poo and the central conflict is literally solved by "be sure to vote right so we can fill the Supreme Court with women." Nobody tell them about Amy Coney Barrett I guess.

Would've loved to see the version of this film that had an Alexandre Desplat score instead of Mark Ronson with a promotional tie-in album.

It was a joke ending about institutional sexism with the shoe on the other foot, not an attempted political thesis
