Flashback

The character is a pain in the ass and you wanna punch her constantly, but the idea is really good. Especially with current events in the US for example, more woman need to see this.

Absolutely loved this little french film, once I found the online subtitles, it made it even better. It was funny, pertinent and informative and I watched it twice. An absolute gem.

I watched this because it looked fun. However the humour masked issues, which are assumed to have been left in past - but still impact the lives of women. Although entertaining and a lot of fun, I ended up feeling (as a man) very much humbled by the experience - especially when faced with some very upsetting contextual historical information in the end credits.

This was a great movie. It's been on my watch list for a while. Finally I had the concentration to watch some subtitle movies. The actress is also the writer.

The writer puts herself in some fun and some historically interesting scenarios. It starts off with a character who is kind of repugnant but she is funny. She's also biased because of her family history and doesn't know it until she goes back in time. She gets taught gets taught a lesson on history and on equality. I learned a lot about French history too. More than I knew going in.

They even set it up for a sequel. And the issues they depict are really important and relevant today. Especially where I live a country where we all are supposed to equal and free but everybody is not equal and everyone is not free. As of right now there are some states that are trying taking control of women's bodies.

If you like some comedy and history with your culture this is it. Physical humour, great characters, great paced, fast talking... I had to regularly pause while watching to check I was understanding the banter correctly.

I thought it was a fresh take on Napoleon Bonaparte also.

Charlie, an unlikeable self centred lawyer takes a long time to be humbled and shaken from her arrogant, narrow views. For the first 20mins she thinks she's on some kind of drug trip as she faces a historical setting where women were punished for stepping outside of the confines of parent, cook, cleaner and wife. She continues to confront history and in at least a couple of cases, the incredibly slow pace that the French law moves at.

French women were the last of all developed countries to gain the right to vote.

Lots of great moments. It had me laughing out loud.

I need to rewatch it to check the hate reviews... maybe the subtitles were just really bad for them?
