It's sort of ironic that Jason Blum, the man who worked with Harvey Weinstein for so many years, produced a #MeToo era thriller pretending that these issues are important to him 😅. He has done a fabulous job of monetizing social issues.
Sexy female assassins (or lingerie assassin as one tweet called it) are played out. It's time to go back to smart and tough female heroines like Ripley or Sarah Connor who aren't about being hot. James Cameron was right when he said Wonder Woman wasn't doing anything new - it's another hot girl kicking ass in a skimpy outfit.
I'm so curious about G&H's Cinemascore. The cinematography and production design are beautiful and the performances are good, but after a strong first half it falls spectacularly to pieces.
All his pretentious quotes wouldn't be so annoying if he hadn't made the year's dullest, most been there/seen that movie. Every Marvel movie is better than The Irishbore, and Joker is leaps and bounds above it. Let's put Robert Deniro and Al Pacino in more mob movies with no women in them, no one's seen that before, that's cinema!!!!
It will get nominated. Greta Gerwig has a powerful PR team that has made her the "must nominate" female director. The secret committee will make sure she's nominated for the sake of female representation. Golden Globes are European and Europe doesn't give a shit about this stuff. America doesn't either, but Americans like to pretend they do for appearances sake, so LW will be nominated.
Agree it's pretty mediocre, just like Lady Bird. Not unwatchable but meh. It has similar themes to Portrait of a Lady on Fire which is leaps and bounds superior on every level.
