If anything it might be even worse . I know its supposed to be about female empowerment but it gets there in a very odd way . It's more like soft core porn /horror . I don't mean showing her sexual exploration but if she had to did it have to be so graphic and ugly ? It doesn't seem to be very empowering. Certainly not different it rips off many other sources.

None of the characters are subtle certainly the script spells every thing out and does so through out the film.

There is no a nuanced character or moment the entire run of the film .

That's another issue it's quite long and dull . As much as I like the actors involved I am disappointed by their choice to appear in it. Sadly the Academy decided to indulge them too much. I just hope in the future an actress won't have do the things Emma did just to win an Oscar . Considering that the Screen Actors Guild did not give their award to Stone I don't think the acting branch is at fault for giving her the Oscar unless it's the BAFTA faction which would make more sense this is more of a British thing .

I just don't see any great achivments here in writing directing or acting .The technical achivemets are not any better than other films and the costumes are nothing special. Hopefully the actors will be involved with better projects in the futre it couldn't get much worse.

Strictly speaking I wouldn't put all the blame on Hollywood this production was a joint effort from the US , The UK and. Ireland .I do find the making of this disturbing and the praise baffling. I have disliked many films but with very few exceptions I can at least understand others may like them this is one of the rare times I simply don't understand the fawning for such rubbish.

Maybe people are getting too easy to entertain if so many went wild for this.
