would you believe me if i told you that one of the most genuine love stories of the year is between the two women in the polyamorous bdsm relationship that inspired wonder woman?
Review by ellie ★★★★½ 2

if someone tells you bisexuality isn't real, tell them to watch this movie. not only does it have explicitly bisexual characters, but the three protagonists are so hot anyone who watches it will have a hard time remaining 100% straight. then, after they watch this underrated little gem, you can tell them to fuck off.

“I want you to love me for all of my days.”
Review by Jonathan Rosenbaum ★★★★ 2

A movie to get off on—erotically, intellectually, humanistically, sociologically. The first movie I’ve seen that made me want to read a comic book.

Review by alex ★★★★

not only the best wonder woman movie of the year, but one of the most tender/openly attuned depictions of submissive sexuality to be portrayed on screen. never as exploitive as may come across. an interesting breed of story nonetheless

Review by Kaliofthedolls ★★★★★

Please can we have threesomes in the name of science and comics?!?!?!

This slightly blew my mind because when I was wee and obsessed with Wonder Woman and comic book heroes ~ well, I was a very frisky child, I suppose like many but maybe a bit moreso, and I had this Viewfinder where Catwoman was strapped to a table in a dark lair and I would think about that frame as I masturbated, like that's one of my first really clear memories because I did that several times a day for a long time, and I had a neighbor boy who would come over and play and I always wanted him to "conquer" me when he was Superman or…

Hugely important and well played.
Review by ACStid ★★★★

How did this fly under the radar I only happened to see it by a fluke, read small sypnosis and thought mmm film about the guy who created Wonder Woman and was massively impressed.
Review by RTurner1234 ★★

William Marston was an incredibly interesting man. It's a shame that this bland, mediocre film doesn't present that on screen.
Review by arvinnnugroho ★★★★½

Ini film wuuuuuuuuanjeng sekali.

Beberapa bulan lalu, sempet denger dan baca-baca soal teori DISC. Topiknya seputar BDSM. Dan, ini dikemas secara bagus.

Isu-isu yang diangkat juga menarik. Gatau sih, tp yg paling menonjol adalah isu LGBT.

Top emang Angela Robinson.
Review by Katie Minard ★★★★★

Who are you to judge us?

A lush, spellbinding, criminally underrated, wonderfully queer, period piece wrought with tension that feels more modern and relevant than most other movies made in recent years.

The first time I watched this I found myself crying almost out of nowhere multiple times. I know now it's was a sense of relief washing over me. Relief that I was seeing this story told in such an effortless and refreshing way. These characters aren't tropes or thrown together caricatures, they're fully-fleshed out characters who are naturally and unapologetically queer and feel as real as their real-life counterparts. The humanity it gives its polyamorous lead characters is vital and revolutionary.

And I fully believe that this movie…
Review by Luis F. Mayorgas ★★★½

Me llamó la atención por el gancho de que iba a tratar el origen de Wonder Woman. Pero aunque todo eso está (y la película tiene no pocos guiños para los conocedores de los comics), es sobre todo una historia bastante sensible, y parece que bien basada en la realidad, de la compleja relación poliamorosa que se establece entre los tres personajes protagonistas, inteligentes y ciertamente audaces, en una situación sociocultural en la que se lo jugaban todo si decidían vivir su vida tal y como querían, fuera de las normas aceptadas por la sociedad. Personalmente, me gustó mucho, en especial el personaje de Rebecca Hall.
