The Daughters of Fire

Shocking works, if they were born a few years ago, might be included in the category of banned films in the world, but they are one of the most hearty female themed films I have ever seen. It is not only because the female characters in the film can live the most real self, but also because the director's perspective is natural and secular, and even goes further than the romance. Of course, to some extent, it still has the meaning of male gaze, but it is already a very avant-garde work.

Pros: 1. The main characters have really good chemistry together. 2. The film is decently well-shot. It's nothing special but it gets the job done.

Cons: 1. The sex scenes are ridiculously incessant (there are 3 within the first 30 minutes), and it's just porn for the sake of being shocking. 2. There's forced conflict at the start when a random guy starts calling the main characters "dykes" out-of-nowhere. 3. Apparently, in this universe, a small woman can beat up two fully grown men with one punch. It's incredibly unrealistic. 4. The soundtrack is played far too loud. 5. The movie has no likable or interesting characters. The film is clearly more interested in the Progressive messaging than the story or the characters. 6. The movie is really slow-paced, especially when very little happens. 7. There is some bizarre and forced anti-Christian messaging thrown in.
