My First Film

A film about movie-making, being a woman and woman trouble. About creating, giving birth, to oneself, to another human, to art. About maturing. I hope. Because she clearly had a lot of growing up to do.

I kind of hated the beginning and I don't think I needed this in my watchlist. I don't fell it added anything to my cinematic experience and there are other movies out there doing a better job at tackling these ideas. The whole execution of the chaotic production is good, I just hated most of these people. They are very self-involved, immature and clueless. And I loathe seeing women give themselves to undeserving men and wrapping their whole world around them. Those few scenes with her boyfriend were very well done, but so uncomfortable and frustrating.

So maybe a lot of this was by design, in which case good job. I still didn't care for most of it, even if some of the themes are valid and important.
