This was the cinematic equivalent of dry toast. Soulless and embarrassing.
Designing Woman 1957

★★★½ Watched by alex 05 Oct 2020

Nothing spectacular. The chemistry between Bacall and Peck felt very forced. An extra half star because it made me laugh so many times.

Watching this again, i just keep thinking about something Maggie Gyllenhaal said when i saw her speak at TIFF - which is that this movie is an expression of something purely feminine that we don't see very often depicted onscreen. It explores the consequences of starving a brilliant and vibrant woman’s mind in a very Virginia Woolf-esque way. And those consequences, as you'll see, really are dire. Also can I just say - that final scene... OOF. Hit me like a ton of bricks.
