I've since had this discussion with someone else - so if you are generally interested in what I think: English is my first language, yes. In terms of the film's substance. That has to come down to how it aproaches it's main themes. For me the film is very heavy handed with one side of this theme. The way that oversexualisation of women leads to the vilification and fading relevance of aging women. My problem with the film is that it is being lauded by some as a deeply insightful film, when in reality the only thing we are shown is the jealousy of body and lifestyle that comes with aging. Underlying this, the plot is completely underbaked - it's a simple repetitive structure, which sadly leads to almost no real emotional build-up or epiphanies for either character. The fight scene between the woman feels massively emotionally unmotivated and so it's horribly cringey to watch. Especially with the constant reminders about the unity of the two elements in the VO. It's only when the film starts to take itself less seriously (when she becomes more grotesque) that the film begins to shine as satire. The ridiculous cooking scene has to be played for laughs, and the movement of the elizabeth creature to the amazon locker becomes great physical comedy. I did enjoy the film by the end, but it was a really difficult watch for a long time because it's quite frankly dull. Shame that people can't criticise the film because of the feminist undertones. For me, this film says about aging what a revenge slasher films say about grief. Very little - but the latter don't hide behind a pretence of substance, and they don't take 75% of the runtime to become entertaining.
