This film demonstrates how, for decades, a very small group of people have shown us who a woman is and how she's valued. This idea isn't new, but the visual representation is radical and as tears filled my eyes in the theatre I could literally see the way I've shaped myself and my characters around someone else's vision - without ever even meaning to. It's a visceral experience, it's a fair examination, and I'm convinced there's no other way to teach this. To anybody in film, this movie is anything but a call to war against the classics; it is an exciting invitation for innovation in a gripping and meaningfully uncomfortable way. This film says, "it's time for change" and even does the favor of showing us how. The power is in our hands.
