beautiful, poetic, dreamy, melancholic; all of it.
I have such an affinity to "bad women" characters — those who fail (accidentally or intentionally) to perform their culturally expected norms of what it means to be a good, "valuable" woman under patriarchy.

This was an action film and to that end I enjoyed it. Fight sequences were super fun. And fuck realism—I enjoyed that shark battle too! Plot line was extremely unengaging but yes, I was entertained (nothing more).
