As a millennial gal, Kirsten Dunst is obviously my queen, and Gaby Hoffman is... I guess she's my princess. I've been wanting to watch this for a while, but it's not streaming, so I had to resort to YouTube. Bummer.
This would have been my favorite movie if I had seen it when it came out. It's a shame it's not accessible enough to find footing now as a cult classic, because it's themes and messaging are still so relevant, and it could inspire a new generation of feminists.
Strike!
Get ready for a radical education.
