Even my celeb crush Jon Bernthal couldn't save the embattled Girls director's latest endeavor.
The film opens with its elfin protagonist, 26-year-old volunteer for disabled children Sarah Jo , filming her adopted sister, Treina , performing a choreographed dance for her disciples on TikTok in their mother, Marilyn’s living room.
Apart from the blatant racial implications, there’s another story within these portrayals of 20-somethings. At either end of the sexuality spectrum awaits a punishment for women: Achieve liberation and suffer heartbreak, and worse, or never experience the joys of sex and endure years of being labeled an oddity.Early scenes show the daughters candidly discussing sex with their mother. At one point, Leigh’s character asks her daughters what you call a penis that’s wider than it is long.
To be clear, no one could blame her. Sarah Jo’s attraction to Josh is likely the most believable subplot of the film. He appears every bit the happy-go-lucky dad, fond of dancing around the kitchen and wearing snug athleisure, who seemingly cares deeply about his son. Even still, it feels abrupt when Sarah Jo propositions him. Andshe does it is another head-scratcher entirely.
