But I’ll take all of this when it comes to the film whose beats are steeped in beating the patriarchy. I’ll even forgive the blatant make-up brand placement that the leading lady brandishes. Surely a more classy way could have been found? But Pednekar herself is a riot, and really carries the film with a terrific mix of crumbling vulnerability and confidence. I enjoyed its joyous silliness, and its unapologetic revelling in being female, and celebrating female solidarity. It sends up expectations of being a ‘good’ daughter, daughter-in-law, mother, and fixes them with a warm, empathetic gaze which says, no worries, we got you, whether you come or go.Read at source
