Finally, a superhero movie I can appreciate.
A triumph in filmmaking that proves that you can make an entire film about rape and sexual harassment without portraying a single act of actual assault or violence, showing respect for the survivors. It begs the question of why any movie would find it necessary, or rather choose, to show a graphic rape scene other than for shock value, but certainly not for storytelling.
I love the way the film intertwines snippets from the protagonists' personal lives, just enough to establish a human connection, but not so much that it detracts from the storyline. Postpartum depression is also gracefully acknowledged and normalized.
10/10. Best film of the year.
