There was something off about this movie the entire time. I knew it was headed into the eye-rolling feminist category, but I was hoping it wouldn't. I'm so glad I decided to read the reviews before going further because I was right! This femcel cheated on her husband and then acts like she's the victim (with people validating her victim mentality like she's a little girl who didn't know any better) and she doesn't want to take responsibility for the chaos she caused. What if the roles were reversed? People would say he got what he deserved. Women aren't right just because we're women. It's an overused device atp. Abuse is not gender-exclusive, get over yourself. Supporting dumpster fires like this isn't empowering either, ladies. To the soy boy simps who go on their incel rants to win brownie points...yeah, women still don't like you bro.
In my humble opinion I think this film is fun, scary, and over all well done. Also it demonizes me, *again*, and frankly as a man I cannot take this is anything more. I know there IS more and I tried to see the more. But the over all message it put in my had was "Men are monsters and women must fight them every day to survive." That isn't true at all. I know there are terrible people who are men and there are women who have been victimized. We also all know there are men victimized by men. Men victimized by women. Women victimized by women. I just cannot stomach another representation of men traumatizing and brutalizing women. Especially as a man who has been traumatized and brutalized by my ex wife. I still love her so don't think this is some angry ex husband post. I just have to be honest, we are either all victims and victimizers, but to paint only men as victimizers *again* in media is just so beyond value at this point you threw an excellent actress away on an old complaint.
The ending was pretty abrupt but the whole of the movie was pretty fun to go through. The idea of it being "femcel" is really just a bunch of bs incel talk. The protagonist is flawed and they don't shy away or excuse that. All around a good watch.
You think it’s going somewhere good but the ending is very blah.
The trailer is more intriguing than the execution.
