Movie_Fanatic_Down_Under

The message in this film is really bad. It excuses men from connecting to themselves emotionally and to their loved ones. There is a line from the supporting actor (the father-to-be) that the main actors daughter will appreciate his hard work and sacrifices when she's older.

Why do we make films that make a pedestal for the emotionally unavailable man "finding himself" via protecting a young woman during post-apocalyptic scenarios?? Why do they get to be heroes for figuring out how to do the bare minimum emotional work *after* the world ends??

The action and zombie aspects of this film were good but the cgi hasn't aged terribly well.

I really enjoyed this film because it told me a story that I didn't know but I should know as a woman in the modern working world. I have had so many similar experiences in my own professional life and the pitfalls and pain of thinking you can trust other people is very real.

I'm curious what Whitney thinks about this film. As a viewer, it overall seems like it's a nice homage to her. But it was done without her permission or input which makes it seem like an extension of people exploiting her, her work and her story - the villains of the film itself.

I liked Lily in the role but she should have stopped her Botox at least 6 months proper. Nothing above (and including) her eyebrows is moving.

The men were believably despicable. Part of me wishes they were more complex villains but the film reflects the reality of men in the working world - casual villains in our stories with zero remorse and even a lot of arrogance and pride.

This film aspires to have many intimate character study scenes but they feel so clumsy that it ruins the movie.

I felt like I was watching actors trying to recreate the relationships and human connections of the characters rather than actually being immersed in a story. Like a bystander on a film set.

It is as if the director had to make this film only on the thinnest whisper of a recollection of a brilliant film someone else had seen once.

I don't think there's any scene where I could forget I was watching Kate Winslet and be free to get to know Lee Miller.

The scenes the movie opens with are quite disconnected and there was no point where I felt pulled into the story of Lee or intrigued to see more.

I'm left wondering why someone made this. What story are they trying to tell with this script, these dull scenes, and these characters. Who wants to watch this story?

The story of Lee Miller is compelling and captivating. Where is any of that in this movie?
