"Powerful & Intensely Metaphorical. This film is thought provoking in a way that takes significant multilevel analysis on the individual, community, and macro societal level. The social commentary is top notch. 5 Stars ⭐️ Spoilers after this point *********** **************************** ******** Trigger warnings ⚠️ for sexual assault, gore, violence, trauma, systemic trauma, & on. There is so much to the concept of the “villain” that transcends generations of trauma, history, and power dynamics. There is a profound display of the different types of individuals involved in these dynamics. There are individuals who assist and actively enable harm to continue. There are individuals who passively allow the continuation of the harm while trying to help in a small ways, due to fear of harm being done to themselves if they help “too much”. Individuals who stand up to the harm and whom are destroyed in the process. Then collective individuals who organize, band together to address the harm, to bring the issues into the “light of day”, and who want to change the world for themselves and for future generations. (Aka intersectional feminism) This is a powerful film. I could be wrong but the villain seemed like an age old depiction of the personification of intersectional oppression/toxic masculinity/patriarchy, old toxic power dynamics, etc. I could probably discuss this film in a 10 page essay going into symbolism and how social systems and power dynamics work however, I’ll end my review there for now.
