9/10
Retro, Fun, Empowering
29 July 2023
So much fun! This movie is not gonna win any awards but it is always fun to watch a whiny little man-boss get taken down by the people he's mistreated. Full of retro 90's touches, The Beanie Bubble actually reminds me of a great movie from the 80's - 9 to 5 (Jane and Lily and Dolly, long may they reign!) Elizabeth and. Geraldine and Sarah and Tracey play women who learn not to trust the selfish disfunctional misogynist in their midst and they help each other find some victory in a rigged system. All four do a great job with their roles. For me, Geraldine stood out - she has some serious star quality. And Sarah's subtlety made her character, Sheila, an island of realism and an emotional touchstone in the midst of the overall fun, fizzy, over-the-top vibe. The Beanie Bubble is like a beanie baby - too bright, fake, and very silly, but loveable. It put a huge smile on my face.
