Ladyworld

Whilst I appreciate the film's navigation of holding females accountable for the way we act towards each other, I can see how a male watching this film would feel targeted and/or annoyed for its aggressive generalisation of men and the way they view women. This then becomes more destructive to the q ... ualities and message of feminism. Films with a feminist undertow should seek to portray inequality in a reasonable and educational format - not make men run away. As for me? I'm still waiting on a film that explores the positives of female relationships, no talk of men or catty behaviour; just real, empowering and relatable content. - Lily Meek Read Lily's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/feature-ladyworld-experimental-thriller-not-so-thrilling Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews. read more

This is something I've spoken about before, I believe it was seeing _The Killing of a Sacred Deer_ that sparked the conversation. Now I know it's not actually this straight forward, but essentially my point was thus: There are two primary forms of "Weird movie". One is grounded, real-world character ... s trying to navigate a nonsense, unrealistic environment. The other is populated by bizarre, unrealistic characters forced to exist in a plausible, terrestrial environment. I'm only really a fan of the former. _Ladyworld_ is the latter. And boy did that score fuckin' irritate me. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._ read more
