It’s a shame the mindless masses are getting their first exposure to Greta Gerwig through this movie. She’s much, much better than this vapid overwrought tripe. [/quote]

Margo Robbie approached HER, not the other way around. She was convinced to do this vs it being her brain-child. I think there’s a big difference between the two. Having said that, however, there are no “rules” saying she can’t choose to do something fun and blockbuster-type that still carries complex, layered messages. She’s casting a wider net and good for her![/quote]

What about this movie was complex? Just because you agree with its message doesn’t make it complex. It’s like a hawkish Republican in the 1980s saying Red Dawn is complex or saying Maverick is complex. When you have a main character going into a long screed about how difficult it is to be a woman there is no complexity about it at all. Obvious propaganda does not = art, no matter what side does it.

If this was all Greta Gerwig was capable of I wouldn’t be so critical of the movie.[b] But she is way better than this.[/b] [/quote]

NP. And her success with this will allow her free rein on whatever project she chooses for the rest of her career. So, yay.[/quote]

Ladybird made $79M and cost $10M. Little women made $219M and cost $40M. Greta Gerwig is not some struggling director who needs the money to fund her projects. [/quote]
