Woolly social critique
26 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In short: I didn't like it. Some inventive cuts and framing, some good scenes (the oft-quoted humiliation of Baggini, specifically), an interesting gallery of famous and good Italian actors -- but the main character is monothematic and opaque. She's a victim, but she's painted as devoid of agency or reasoning, in such a condescending way. I am not sure how this can be considered a feminist movie, when we are at every turn and twist been forced to wallow in her lurid and weirdly unrelenting humiliations. So in the end I can't help but thinking that the author was part and parcel of the very system it pretends to critique here.

Marking this as containing spoilers, but the ending is given away by the title itself.
