A complex and nuanced look at a complex and nuanced subject
I was impressed with the film. It had a slow start but once it takes off it doesn't shy away from the difficult discussions on this topic. Its handling of subjects like racism, privilege, feminism and sexual assault seemed very realistic - like real life, people are at different points in their journey of understanding. I think if anything it was useful to watch a group of people grapple with these topics, so many wanting to do the right thing, be good people, and trying to figure out what that means today. As well, reconciling that the past was indeed a different time but that harm occurred all the time and there needs to be a reckoning for trauma and harm caused. I would recommend this film.
