On the Basis of Sex 2018
Was hoping this'd be bad but it's really just boring and unmemorable neoliberal propaganda masquerading as progressive feminist history.

Ultraviolet came across my radar as Milla Jovovich did, and I expected…

Boring, thoughtless, tactless, and totally unremarkable; everything a war movie shouldn't be. There are lots of different ways to make a movie about war and physical conflict and many of those different ways work despite being totally different tonally, thematically, and technically. Somehow, Civil War has invented a new, novel approach to depicting warfare: make it bland, uninteresting, and totally devoid of humanity.
I want to say there was at least a vision with this film's cinematography. It's about photojournalists…
