As a boy mom, I can report that boys have normal outbursts as well. But this film focuses on girls.

And, as one of four girls, I have to say the tiger mom stereotype didn’t resonate at all. My sisters and I adored our mother. She provided unconditional love, not controlling at all.

Little kids wanted to watch it, but they got bored after 20 minutes. Curious what age group actually enjoyed it? Also curious if the film resonates with certain ethnic groups?

Heaven forbid.

God forbid ONE movie focus on girls and not boys. Your poo, poor, persecuted son.

Exactly. And god forbid girls/women stand up for themselves. Goes against everything evangelicals believe.

What is with all of the parents saying it's for older kids because they talk about periods?? There is nothing mature about knowing or learning about periods... everyone should.

DP. The Common Sense reviews are kind of funny to read. Parents say it glorifies disrespect towards parents! And I don’t recall the characters actually saying the word “period” once.

Because all the crazy Christian influencers are riling up their base to post.

The overarching theme of the movie is a girl coming of age by making her own decisions, and specifically her own decisions about her body. There's a subset of people that think that is the ultimate sin and will go way over the top condemning this movie without admitting what they're really angry about by couching it in "rebellion" and "disrespect" and "inappropriate." I saw one saying that the movie promoted prostitution because the panda "gave rides to boys as a way to earn money."

They can't say what they really mean, which is "I don't want teen girls to think they have/deserve bodily autonomy."

Congratulations to you I guess? I’m white from the whitest possible family and my mom was highly anxious, repressed and controlling so the movie resonated a lot with me even though I don’t belong to any “certain ethnic groups” (gross, why don’t you just come out and say you couldn’t relate because you don’t think of asians as real people)

I watched with my DD's age 9 and 12. They both loved it. Yes, some scenes were "cringe"-- that was the point. Adolescence is filled with cringe.

I HATED it. The self loathing talk from the little girl, hitting herself and yelling stupid, her self proclaimed “sexy drawings” and saying she likes to do gyrations with her bodY. Horrible movie.

Same. I’m white and this character could have been my mother. Very strict, controlling, and unwilling to listen.

“My panda my choice,” is an actual quote from the movie.

I know, I watched. Personally I'm not infuriated by the idea of my daughter deciding what happens to her own body, but the reason these "Christian influencers" are up on arms leading an internet attack on the film is that they find the idea terrible. I'm just translating what they're saying (eww, periods! She's disrespectful to her parents!) to what they actually mean (girls shouldn't receive messaging that they're on control of their bodies).

My thumbs really didn't want to type "in", apparently.

Just watched with DH and teen son. We are really liked it.

Another Pixar score.

We loved it! Kids ages 3 - 8 all enjoyed it.

My almost 5-yo DS has watched it (in bits and pieces) twice already, and started it again.
