This documentary was really eye-opening and well done. While agree that it would've been great to have a female director, isn't it ALSO powerful that a male is seeking opportunity to give space for female voices? We need both women AND men to speak up and fight for equality. I also really appreciate the call to action at the end. I immediately started looking up female-directed movies that I can see in theaters and support by sharing with others. I'm just disappointed Netflix didn't pop this up on my watchlist much sooner...yet another barrier to tear down- algorithms that fail to suggest female-based content to viewers.

I've seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but this one has got to be one of the worst. Doesn't develop characters or relationships, plot is disjointed and painfully awkward. I can't recommend this movie to anyone.

I haven't read the books, but maybe that's why I really liked this movie. I thought Amandla Stenberg and Harris Dickinson acted phenomenally and the story was engaging and fun. It did feel a little rushed at times, but almost every book adaptation I've ever watched felt that way. I'm hooked thought and excited to see the franchise continue. I might even read the books!
