We went into this not knowing what to expect. We are writing this review as two straight cis gendered male and female. It is easy to take it at face value and it to be what you want it to be. But the truth is it does not provide the viewer with a straight answer.

At it's core this film is about female identity but ultimately encapsulates how men and women fit in the modern world and their place in it. The film was very layered and brilliantly nuanced so the audience was really asked to reflect on its messages. This film treats its audience intelligently. It's portrayal of Feminism is a well rounded take on the female experience and role in society.

The one criticism would be that the men's experience is a lot more 2D, having said that we in no way saw it as an attack on men. In fact you could argue it took a sympathetic view of men's current experience in society and the pitfalls of popular alpha male masculinity and loss of identity.

The question is not just around gender roles or stereotypes but from an individual experience which is encapsulated at the end (spoilers) from Margot Robbie and Ryan Goslings characters personification of strong female and male figures.

We would highly recommend for a profound intimate portrait of our times. We have not watched a movie that has provoked so much debate on leaving the cinema.
