This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first netflix film that I have ever seen with the capability for depth, nuance, and careful story-telling. There are so many relatable details and none of them are handed to the audience with a heavy-hand, we are led to learn slowly and brutally at times as Ani grows through telling her story. The last few minutes of the movie are hollow and empty and I can't help but chalk that up as a reflection of the inherent hollowness of how we tend to have discussions like these in social media these days. Overall, this was a consistently riveting experience and told a story that many will resonate with. Absolutely excellent work, at long last, from this streaming platform.… Expand

This material was completely beyond Mila Kunis' grasp and the film suffers for it, even as the plot never achieves a distinct voice to provoke anything more emotional, because as it concludes, it feels like we come to the end of a little story that forces closure and catharsis for its protagonist in a way that feels fanciful and completely unrealistic.… Expand

Selective feminism for female readers of "The New York Times". Ethnic rapes, street rapes against ordinary women, and WASP rapes: why should Netflix give a damn about the first two categories that don't have enough money to subscribe to its platform? Why have civil rights movements supplanted social rights ones, and Florida has just become a new GOP fiefdom as Latinos refuse to be called Latinx with inclusive language? Mila Kunis produces herself in a film that conveys a revolting message: if you are a career woman, a successful woman, havin' been raped is a medal to brag about, as it means that you made it despite the starting handicap.… Expand

Everything comes off as borderline exploitative. All the insensitivity of the film aside, I found every single character on display to be unlikable. No one is worth sympathising for, making the narrative fall further apart.

Very very heavy material, probably blends too many of those topics into one film, none of them really get full attention. There is basically not a single likeable character in the film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mike Barker tem alguns filmes apenas decentes (Morte ao rei, encurralados), mas este aqui considero o máximo de sua filmografia, embora há que se dizer tratar-se de um roteiro adaptado, com um edição não-linear que finalmente ajuda e muito a contar a história.
Mila Kunis consegue fazer da protagonista, Ani, uma mulher forte o suficiente para despertar o desejo masculino, assim como frágil o suficiente nos seus repentes ao relebrar do passado. E que passado!
O filme, então, se mistura em duas realidades, quando Ani vivia na escola que sofrera um massacre, e quando ela já está na vida adulta, tendo que se desdobrar para conciliar a carreira com os anseios familiares e, principalmente, com as rédeas do marido.
Ocorre que, durante o massacre na escola, os envolvidos, principalmente uma das vítimas, estava diretamente ligada a Any através de um estupro coletivo. Ela então, carrega o peso típico dos efeitos psicológicos de um estupro combinado com o olhar de vítima que a sociedade naturalmente já teria pelos rapazes, uma situação complexa e delicada, e o filme soube trabalhar isso de forma minuciosa.
Obviamente uma dose um pouco forçada foi usada aqui, como o rapaz que ficara na cadeira de rodas em decorrência ao massacre, meio que mesclando o tom entre a pobre vítima e o vilão escroto que fez do evento algo de promoção social. O mesmo se pode dizer do marido de Any, que passa a sensação de controlador o tempo inteiro. Aqui não há muitos nuances.
As cenas na escola após o massacre são de embrulhar o estômago, e por serem mais contidas, ficaram excelentes, como o olhar de desaprovação da mãe (a cena da mãe largando a mão da jovem resumiu de forma perfeita o sentimento).
O final meio "girl power" e ainda um embate feminino pode ser de torcer o nariz pela falta de sutileza, mas considerando que o machismo é estrutural e que Any conseguiu manter a amizade com a editora, ficou adequado, mostrando que o filme conversa com o público feminino e que este próprio não é unanimidade, numa sociedade em que há um machismo estrutural que não olha exatamente o gênero.
Escrevo essa crítica quando o reality show mais assistido do Brasil (BBB), transmitido pela Rede Globo de Televisão, acaba de eliminar dois participantes por importunação sexual e, pasmem, ainda há quem os defenda mesmo todo ato ter sido gravado ("ela queria", "ela estava bêbada" etc).
Então nem imagino o quanto deva ser difícil para uma mulher usar da sua palavra para expor algo que, para muitos, é pura invenção. No filme "Entre mulheres", indicado ao Oscar de 2022 e tendo faturado roteiro adaptado, fica claro que sempre será sobre considerar a palavra da mulher uma mentira, até que se prove o contrário (quando não, uma alucinação).
Aqui Mila Curtis consegue encarnar a dor, o vazio, a dúvida. Não entendo porque não ganhou mais repercussão, talvez porque junto ao filme "Ela disse" e ao já citado "Entre mulheres", tenha um peso menor. Mas conta uma história necessária em tempos em que a imagem do homem como vítima ganha contornos com um mínimo de esforço. É o tal privilégio dando as caras, e ao menos no filme há um espaço para esperança.… Expand

Decent film. The premise is very strong and I’m sure the book was great but the movie could of been a lot more. I did think the acting was good, written well and for what it was I had a decent time for a one time watch.

An excellent film about the fact that there is no mercy for a rapist. A man who physically harms a woman just once is not a man, but just a simple coward, disqualified from any relationship between a man and a woman.
