    Is this what we call supporting women’s rights and women’s wrongs? Absolutely. 100% here for it. Love a movie that amps up the awkwardness, and speaks volumes in so many ways.

    This movie has so many layers to unpack, with the main being the striking contrast in how one views “love”. Giving it a human face, giving it a religious voice, or giving it a legal boundary. Is it fate that we love the ones that come into our lives, or do we have agency in choosing who complements our lifestyle/personality and meets our intimate needs? A lot to think about.

    There is something so familiar about seeing immigrants getting badly mistreated that jerks back the forgotten memories of the stupid sentences people have told me as a foreigner in a foreign country. “Do you have Marvel movies? What about a Starbucks?”.
    This movie is a visual masterpiece, with top class acting, and driven by emotions that in turn drive emotions of the viewers.
