Barbie (2023)
from Director Greta Gerwig
Superficial fluff cleverly tackling existential and crucial issues affecting humanity.
Immature men denied feminine love chase the consolation of respect through patriarchy, gaining attention from women who savour their newfound lack of responsibility.
Balance restored when men are taught their value is not subject to anything external, including female adoration.

Paddington II
Michael Bond has written a second children's book entitled 'More About Paddington'. In this edition to the series Paddington will learn about how to decorate, spot trouble while learning new skills and what Christmas is all about. Reading this novel from an adult perspective one would think more about just how to be a better person to all no matter how one is treated just how Paddington does with his neighbor at various times and whomever he meets out in the community on his daily jaunts out. To me Paddington Bear is a bear for all seasons of growing.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.

It’s in my list! Everyone is raving about it on here, so will have to give it a watch. Great review; love the way you approached it, thru a subtle opinion and well thought out summary. 💕👏
Please don't stop your lovely sweet work keep going sister
Very clever and apt critique! There’s a lot going on in this film. More than people think and that makes it a winner, as it done in such a fun way. Surely one that will be studied in film analysis and gender studies! 😁
Oooo, now this really makes me wanna watch this movie! Loved your review!
Really great critique!
Dammit, we have the same WIPs lol. First Dark Side of the Moon, then this. We saw this last night and I have a Critique entry about it. We loved the film and what I thought was great was rather than being a man-basher, it was actually very balanced and was sympathetic to men too. Awesome critique, Kayleigh - you nailed it!
I HAVENT SEEN IT! But I want to!
