Kermode & Mayo’s Take

CHAPTER

The Moral of Which Is You Should Get a Better Wife

The film addresses some fairly hot topic issues, including the role of consent and power struggles. The fact that the central character in this is a woman is what makes it interesting, not what makes it anti-women. There are so many men, actual documented men, that this film could have been based on, but instead it puts a woman in the role but gives her all the attributes of those men. That feels anti-women to me. It's like Donald Trump saying that Citizen Kane is a film, The Moral Of Which Is You Should Get A Better Wife. I mean, yeah, well done for literally not reading the thing in front of you.
