Re: Reviews you've found puzzling, silly, etc

While I think the movie itself has issues, I recall reading a review of Brave where the reviewer was complaining about the central relationship between Merida and her mother as being 'something that's been done in hundreds of films before.' Which just had me boggling because there *aren't* a lot of animated movies that actually explore mother-daughter relationships (at least where the mom isn't dead) and on top of that there are literally a ton of movies that explore *father-son* relationships and I have never seen a single reviewer make the same 'been done before' remark.

Actually on a similar note, shout out to every white dude reviewer whose review of Turning Red basically boiled down to 'I am uncomfortable when movie not about me.'

Oh, this! The "this extremely relatable female character/relationship is not something that I, a 36 year old white man, have personally experienced and therefore the existence of this movie upsets me" reviews sure aren't new, but they're certainly getting louder and more ridiculous.

The Turning Red ones really made me roll my eyes, with so many “who is this for” complaints. When a male director makes a movie about a boy growing up, where women are incidental at best in the narrative, it’s super relatable and made for everyone. But have a female director — and a POC one at that — make a movie about girlhood, where the male characters are incidental (and used in universe as eye candy!) and the girl isn’t made a tomboy or given a convenient younger brother for male viewers to latch on to, *now* it’s ‘OMG who is this movie even for.’

Turning Red was SO EGREGIOUS, because half the millennial women I knew could relate to that movie SPECIFICALLY. Like, hire some female reviewers for that movie or something. Jeez.
