In the Tall Grass

2019

★★ Watched

Meh. Bit anti abortion. Bit white man. Nice big boy visuals.

Cuties

2020

★★★★ Watched

You must watch Cuties to have an opinion on Cuties.

It’s an interesting perspective on female rage from the mistreatment, fetishising and objectification of women that has occurred for centuries! 

The most problematic part of this film is that it plays into the oppressive Muslim Girl trope, that all Muslim women feel oppressed by modesty and are forced into these traditions. I’d love to see a film not about that soon :) 

If you’re sexualising these girls, that’s what the film is critiquing. End of story. Die conservative right wingers in Texas, die.
