i thought baby driver had nothing to say but holy fuck.

this is the most surface level depiction of how woman are objectified in allot of proffesional industries, specifically the fashion industry.
i think thats a good idea for a movie but this film has no substance, no bite at all. it just doesn't have anything new to say and feels kinda save.

for how big it focuses on exactly that, every character is shallow and the dialogue feels like it just wants to get to the big setpieces as quick as possible.

Other than the basic premise, the rest wasn't what I expected at all. I had seen it described as a horror film a few times, and while I can see horror elements, I don't think it truly got there.

This would be a stronger movie if it was just the story of Anya Taylor-Joy's character in the sixties trying to become a single or Thomasin McKenzie's character coping with her mother's suicide by pursuing fashion in London. I liked both halves enough to give this 3.5 stars and say it's worth a watch every few years, but squishing the stories together was a little messy.
