  ok so....i think the main mistake that they made with this film was making vivian the protagonist and not lucy. in addition, this film did a lot of talk about intersectionality but it fell short. for instance, how mitchell (the football player) treated lucy was not just because of misogyny - it was racism. like, yes, fuck the patriarchy, but also fuck racism, transphobia, and ableism - which were other issues that characters faced that were not completely addressed.

  some other random notes:

  - the writing was not the greatest
  - why did they go on a date at a funeral home?
  - vivian's frustration about her mom's new guy made 0 sense
  - i had to google what moxie…

  Review by Downton_Tabby ★★★½ 4

  A film where any of the secondary characters would have made a more interesting and inspiring protagonist - but it did try.

  Special shout out to the “Give Up You Don’t Matter” sign that existed in the classroom and was never addressed.

  Review by Ryan. ★ 19

  I am AWARE that I’m not the target audience for this but explain to me WHY this movie follows Vivian, one of the most annoying characters I’ve ever seen in a teen movie, instead of Lucy, a black girl who has more moxie than literally any other character as she navigates a new school where sexism is the norm and women are told to keep their heads down to avoid harassment?

  I liked that Vivian was called out for her overt whiteness by the end, but it doesn’t change the fact that any of the side characters would have made a more interesting protagonist.

  I wouldn’t be so harsh on this movie if it felt like it was intended for a younger audience, but it genuinely felt as though these adult writers were trying to relate to progressive high-schoolers. Two of the writers of After (2019) wrote this so...yeah.

  This movie was the depiction of performative activism. Feels like Amy Poehler discovered feminism and the song Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill a year ago and wanted to let everyone know. But let's break it down, shall we?

  1) "straight cis skinny blonde white girl" that has been raised by a #girlboss of a mother finds out that the boys at her school are molesters only when a Black girl talks about it. you would expect something more by someone that has been raised by a self-proclaimed "burning bra" raging feminist

  2) we have trans, queer, disabled and second-generation immigrants girls whose stories are being used like accessories to the "straight cis skinny white girl"

  3) did "blonde white girl"…
