I didn't actually know this was a sequel until I read the other reviews. I thought it worked as a good premise on its own. I thought the social commentary was really excellent too, all the acting was great. It was a lot more well polished, and well done than I expected it to be.
I have seen "The Women" and they do feel completely different to each other. So I can understand why fans would want something that feels similar. I didn't click they were from the same series.
The actress who played the "Dog Sister" to Darlin' was living her best life in the role and I was definitely there for that. You could really tell she was having a great time, and it really helped me have fun with the film.
I actually overall thought this film had many things to like about it.
