    Excellent review Rufus. I have long felt that what is often considered Feminist (capitalized) doesn’t really capture the internal, political issues of women. But, then again I am a man, and so really couldn’t begin to understand them.Report

    This is a wonderful and thoughtful article Rufus, well done. It also reminded me of something I had read on the director from the late great Ebert and I went and found it because I think it compliments your piece nicely and is written almost as well as yours is.
