“We haven’t evolved a hero story that’s female. We’re always trying to fit women’s stories into this male structure, which is this rising action, this powerful conflict, and this falling action. And I think a female hero story is not that. It’s something else. Women are trying to recover their voices, which is a much quieter, deeply existential, and frustrating journey.”— Carrie Coon, The New Yorker
So much better than the 2016 remake.
The movie started off very slowly… but once the story picked up, it kept me glued until the final moments.

The Gilded Age (the HBO show, not the era of American History its name comes from) is like a beautifully decorated plain vanilla gluten free cake. It looks beautiful but the substance is boring, crumbly, and kind of dry. Like, yeah, it’s edible and you might somewhat enjoy it, but it’s not what you wanted.
This is the best, most truthful description of The Gilded Age I have ever seen.
Decided to put together a poster because I enjoyed the movie so much. I laughed. I cried. I got chills. And I felt like a kid again. #GhostbustersAfterlife does not touch the magic of the original 1984 classic but man it comes real close in spots and the last thirty minutes? Just excellent. I can easily see this as being frequently used in conversation of how to properly revive a franchise in the future.
