The final bit was the most I’ve laughed at a movie in forever; I love to drive myself crazy figuring out how that little girl in a princess dress became a fan of Sue in-universe
A younger me would be like okay so see how slick and glossy and perfect the Sue Show stuff is like it’s a car commercial and her body is presented as something to buy? But now it’s more yeah cloning is bad
He didn’t get that when I worked Tangentially for Vogue, he doesn’t get it when I am like yeah I need to spot dye my beard so I don’t have so much grey not cause it makes me look old but cause it ruins dude contouring
Yes, most models are very thin, which is another discussion, but there's something about seeing clothes made for adult women on an adult woman and not a teenager.
i asked ppl on twitter whether his character is supposed to be gay and someone said "if it were an american writer/director i'd say yes but i actually think he's a specific kind of straight guy they mostly only have in france" and i think about it a lot
in a larger sense i believe the reason the dialogue feels so uncanny (complimentary) is that it's written in english by a non-native english speaker but then spoken by native english speakers
One of the best times I’ve had with a film! Afterwards, I was like, that was so fun!
My boyfriend didn’t think it was that fun, but I freaking loved it!
I thought all the people ragging on it for not being nuanced in its feminism missed the point somewhat: Fargeat hates misogyny (internal and external) and loves gross weird shit and she thought (correctly) that it would shred to make a movie about both.
Fargeat is a badass riot grrrl, I who grew up listening to bikini kill, L7 & the lunachicks = THE SUBSTANCE was a damn masterpiece. (less teeth, more tits!)

All that “Ummm actually it was overlong and repetitive!” posting, fuck.
You’re overlong and repetitive. Nerd.
