REALLY enjoyed Netflix’s Damsel with Millie Bobby Brown
The acting/dialogue was a bit shaky/exposition-y BUT the costuming, effects and cinematic shots were incredible??
And don’t even TALK to me about a woman being in pain and making ACTUAL in pain sounds?? None of this suffer in silence or slight grunting, this bitch was bleeding & screaming & I was rooting for her the whole way!
You know I really liked the Damsel movie! I was worried at first some of the trailers I saw would have given too much away but I truly had no idea what was going to happen majority of the time. One thing I thought about during most of the movie was how it must be difficult to keep the story moving while only focusing on one character who doesn’t have any lines for most of it and I think they did it really well which also goes in line with Millie being an amazing actress. My only minor nitpicky thing is I wish Elodie had kept a few scars from the whole thing cause a lot of media seem to forget that deep wounds (like burns) would probably scar but that’s really it in regards to criticisms
Also, let's take a moment and just commemorate every girl that had to go through a cave, and every girl who couldn't make to the cave with names to be remembered. Who couldn't squeeze through so tight tunnels (cave diving is a fucked up hobby irl, sorry not sorry), who wasn't fast enough, or was burnt too badly and died slowly, who wasn't sporty enough, or had sweating problems to jump to the glowbug cave, who wasn't strong enough, or had a panic attack, who suffocated, or died from hunger.
