I don't understand all the hype around this movie. I found it boring, with almost no plot. It had a few fun moments, nothing too funny, I don't think I ever laughed throughout the whole movie. A great performance from Ryan Gosling indeed, although Margot Robbie was perhaps mediocre. He definitely stole the thunder. Regarding patriarchy and feminism, it merely scratched the surface of those terms. It was perhaps more of a simulation of how an elementary teacher would explain patriarchy to kids. It doesn't offer anything to adults, except for if they lived in a cave and never heard about patriarchy.
