Listen people. It's not supposed to be an Oscar-worthy, slow, deep, depressing drama. BE SERIOUS. This movie is exactly what it claims to me ... a fun, accurate, timely portrayal of how we treat ourselves and each other! Those side-eyes we all throw and the whispering about each other and "who does she think she is" looks ... and the comments we feel entitled to say to each other or about each other. Nailed it. We can do better. I know I can.
What else does it nail? Beauty and confidence come from the inside, how we talk to ourselves does matter, stunningly beautiful people still have feelings and struggles and insecurities, true friends call you out when you're out of line, you don't have to be good at everything, do what you have to do to feel comfortable in your own skin and then ROCK it because you are AMAZING. I laughed. I cried a little. I related and related and related. It's an important, universally-applicable, valuable, timely lesson. Don't listen to the haters about this movie, or anything else really. If you need a pep talk, go see it. If you need to help someone else understand their worth, go see it. If you need a reminder that you're not alone, go see it. If you can only enjoy movies that are Oscar bound, I still think you should see it. I guarantee someone around you needs to hear what it has to say. That's all.
