Pretenders (2021)
Doesn't pretend to be smt it is not
Funny, not all about sexuality, and deals with growing-up problems in a healthy way.
Has structure flaws that could easily be read as features. Nice colors, and safe vibe (though deals with some cringy situations)
Red Sparrow (2018)
Nice cast, I guess
Let's not even touch propagandistic nature and logical inconsistencies like prima living in a cheap apartment and also going stealth mode despite being widely-known. I can bear that. How would american filmmakers know that? The same goes for costumes and general representation of Russia. I was really waiting for someone to say a word about Soviets. Didn't happen, sadly
Except for the final twist, a plot was predictable and cliche. When you start hoping the main hero will do something that makes you score a film higher than 5 she goes all back to primitive and leaves you thinking about such a beauty held down by the blemished script. I did really enjoy acting of Jennifer Lawrence. It felt authentic enough for me as a Russian. Really liked Matthias Schoenaerts, who was so stereotypically russian I couldn't look at him without smiling
Too long, too pretentious and too ready to mark who is a bad guy, who is right, and how to live
