Saw The Substance and when we walked out of the theater I heard someone telling her friend ‘that movie had the male gaze written all over it’. Like no miss Coralie Fargeat just likes ass 😡

No one uses the male gaze right! Its just the only film criticism word they know so they use it! There is a reason the camera films naked Elisbeth and naked Sue different, kind of the point of the film actually.

Also again the movie is French. There is nothing French filmmakers love more than showing some ass. Especially Miss Fargeat who's favorite things in the world as far as I can tell are lady ass, montage editing, and blood.

Us being the most cheerful while saying the most tragic stuff 🙃

A stark shift in course from the generic media representation of women in cinema. A breath of fresh air. I strive to be like fleabag to live like her. She's deeply flawed grappling with grief, guilt and loneliness yet her imperfections make her relatable and authentic. There are only so many films where female viewers can truly connect to the protagonist. Many a times though what is seen is a sugercoated, exaggerated version of a "woman" appealing to the male perspective usually written by men. Women in films are often portrayed as pure, larger than life, innocent, perfect almost childlike to be liked by the general audience. This creates an incorrect stigma around the gender who are just as human as men. On the other hand fleabag with her imperfections as well as her humour, independence and strength serves a more accurate depiction of women, which not just adds relatibility but a dimension of aspirationality to her character.
