Espresso Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Is there a degree of pile-on that's not warranted? Only barely. And has it slanted some of the critical reception? Only slightly. Anyone's that's followed this debacle closely since production started until now is not going to be gaslit or fooled by these crocodile tears. Starting with the cacophony of blinds that came out confirming she did in fact cheat on Jason with Harry prior to their reported "separation". Then continuing with the entire Shia LaBoeuf drama where she blatantly lied and Shia had the receipts on hand and provided them. Her team's effort to reframe this to "shaming a female director with little in the industry" they're now trying is truly shameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepfon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Let's be honest, if the movie was good it would have rose above any drama that was associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALittleGauche Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Misogyny in a patriarchal industry and society as a whole. Men in show business can do all sorts of wrongdoing time and time again, yet a woman is scrutinized and lambasted for her every single move. I’ll still see the movie.

Just a Gay on ATRL Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It’s too soon to make an accurate judgment. Reviews always have recency bias in one direction or the other. Time is truly the ultimate truth teller when it comes to cinema. A good example is that I don’t think Scarface was very acclaimed when it first came out - people thought the movie was too violent and over the top. Now it’s one of the most influential movies of all time in its genre. Not that I’m saying DWD is on the same level as Scarface But she has a point. it’s impossible to be completely impartial while watching a movie. Some movies look better with time and others look worse with time. so we’ll see how darling pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVY Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 lets be real, Harry attracted bad publicity. He is not a good actor and he shouldn't be given roles next to big stars just because he's popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBeMe Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 she sounds like she will not get better as a director. She seems like she cannot take valid criticism. Most of the critics were criticizing the screenplay, dialogue and Harry lackluster performance. Did the drama maybe obscure some of the goodwill critics initially had before viewing the film? Maybe. But not to the point where you can make a blanket statement like this and dismiss all the criticism as a social media dog pile. Girl your movie is just trash according to critics. Take the L and learn. I'll still watch it because I want to see it for myself and I'm sure tons of ppl will do the same so the film could end up making a profit for her regardless. That could be a success in of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean let’s be real - the psychological thriller genre is overloaded right now, and the film isn’t even Florence Pugh’s most notable feminist psychological thriller. Even if it’s better than the critiques are letting on, I can’t see it being considered a seminal work when people have been making Stepford Wives comparisons since the trailer dropped. With that said, I love this kinda stuff so I’ll still be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
