Whilst I appreciate the film's navigation of holding females accountable for the way we act towards each other, I can see how a male watching this film would feel targeted and/or annoyed for its aggressive generalisation of men and the way they view women. This then becomes more destructive to the qualities and message of feminism. Films with a feminist undertow should seek to portray inequality in a reasonable and educational format - not make men run away. As for me? I'm still waiting on a film that explores the positives of female relationships, no talk of men or catty behaviour; just real, empowering and relatable content.

This is something I've spoken about before, I believe it was seeing _The Killing of a Sacred Deer_ that sparked the conversation. Now I know it's not actually this straight forward, but essentially my point was thus: There are two primary forms of "Weird movie". One is grounded, real-world characters trying to navigate a nonsense, unrealistic environment. The other is populated by bizarre, unrealistic characters forced to exist in a plausible, terrestrial environment. I'm only really a fan of the former. _Ladyworld_ is the latter.
And boy did that score fuckin' irritate me.
_Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._ see more
