Mary this piece is brilliant. I’m including these movies in some of my writing this October and I fully agree with you. 🖤 also this article spawned a stack-wide manhunt when I started reading and then lost it so apologies when you see that notes thread 😂
Loved this!! Thanks for reiterating how misunderstood the Good For Her category is as a genre. A movie I love and that I interpret as a satirism of this category is I Care a Lot with - coincidentally or not - Rosamund Pyke as a lead. It takes the whole girlboss/good for her trope a step too far to make people uncomfortable and question the pitfalls of white feminism. Would recommend !

Ooo I have heard a lot about that film! Very divisive from what I can tell but I’ll have to add it to my list!
