An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even thought the material was definitely interesting, to be honest, I really had a hard time to care about the fluffy approach they took. Indeed, as far I was concerned, it seemed a rather odd choice to tell the fight for Women’s rights so lightly just to make sure this movie would be a crowd-pleaser (it did flop anyway because it was released just 10 days before the first Covid lockdown in the UK). Especially since things didn’t really change that much after all for women, the biggest difference nowadays is that we pretend to be equal but it is definitely not the case though. I have to admit that they were some moments when they were actually getting at something, for example, when Sally and her mother each other addressed their respective behaviors. Indeed, going to college and becoming an activist while seemingly neglecting your child might not seem such a great idea after all but doing nothing at all and accepting things as they are was obviously not much better. Unfortunately, instead of going deeper into this interesting problematic, it was however completely deluded by telling this story through as many angles as you could possibly imagine. As a result, the whole thing felt rather disjointed. For example, at some point, you would to get to see these activists disparaging this contest as being degrading to all women and, in the very next scene, they would then try to argue how meaningful it actually was for some of these girls. Anyway, to conclude, I think my rating might have been too generous here but the damned thing was rather harmless and I guess it might still be worth a look but probably only if you really like the genre.
