The two main characters, Estella and JoJo have the best chemistry. They just seem like two old friends. And, they are so funny. I went back and rewatched a few parts because the dialogue was so good. I actually liked the conversations better than the action parts, although they were good too, it just was really nice to see some intelligent connection between friends. Kind of reminds me of my own friends and me.

Dude!!! This movie has the makings of one of the great cult classic films. I'm reminded of Evil Dead in the horror genre, Tangerine in the drama genre, and Slacker in the comedy genre. There is just something special about a movie that isn't technically perfect but captures the genre so well. It's this beautiful, molded clay that doesn't quite have the shine of a glaze on it but is almost more stunning without it. This movie is the action version of that! You can tell after viewing it that there's something timeless about it, something that people will keep coming back to. I'm predicting here that the next project the director does is going to be something that captures the whole culture! You heard it from me! But, for now, I think this film is something for me to simmer on. The characters are so well fleshed out and the dialogue is very smooth. The lines keep playing in my head, which is always an amazing sign that there's good writing! Recommend watching it with an open mind. There's a lot to appreciate.

Bad B*tch was so much Fun to watch!! The filming was great! The characters were amazing! The actors and actresses were very realistic. The story line was strong and from the very beginning the conversation pulled me in. I got the feeling I was sitting right there in the restaurant viewing this in real life!They'll had fun, humor, intensity, intrigue. Great action scenes, beautiful language and even poetry and music. I plan on watching this awesome movie many times!! You should too!! It's GREAT!!

Finally! A movie that isn’t afraid to take chances. This isn’t your average action movie. There are so many layers to it. I had to watch it three or four times to start picking up as much as I possibly could but this movie is deep. Is it scrappy? Absolutely! But that’s what makes it real. It isn’t some Hollywood production. It’s all pretty made up. This one actually has depth to it. I’m so impressed with the editing and the cinematography and more than anything the writing. Hollywood needs better writers like this! I recommend watching it at least twice. Happy viewing!

Bad B*tch is a unique film and experience that I highly recommend.
I love the actors in the film, the leads carrying the dynamic range of human nature and the types of people that populate the Earth. The two women protagonists are extremely relatable, likable, and sympathetic, but of course, as you need in any film with conflict, the lead gang members are miserable and make things complicated for the storyline that unfolds, thus leading to an intriguing display of cinematic tension.
I enjoy the film because of its themes of empowerment, and encouraging you to stand up to those who continually take advantage of immunity and with impunity. I enjoy the themes of creativity and art that populate the dialogue, from poetry and philosophy, to film and other forms of art. I can’t help but think of Shakespeare when it comes to this comparison.
Language is an incredibly important theme in the film, from the writing of the script to the subject matter itself. Words are your power. Words are the thing that the film seems to be most about. Words are the thing that you think about the most, as a poet, as a spoken word poet, as a writer, as a script writer, as a lover of words. The fascinating thing about this film is the complexity of dialogue and conversation throughout, and the complexity of language itself and its way of transforming the way we act and think. I love the conversations throughout the film, reminding me of many film experiences I’ve enjoyed throughout my life. I would make a comparison to shows like Mr. Robot, where the dialogue is razor sharp, witty, a commentary on society and art, and incisive. The conversations about how shallow culture has become and the loss of depth we face as a consequence, were high points for me personally as a moviegoer.
The amazing thing about this film is the dynamism of the actors (forgive me if I butcher their names). JoJo is a great character, sympathetic yet super intelligent, as is her friend, Estella. But they are tormented by circumstances, and must decide what they are going to do, which is the heart of the film. What do you do when you are being destroyed by circumstances out of your control? I won’t spoil it, as I encourage you to experience it yourself, but it definitely makes you think. I didn’t expect the ending and the hope it brings, even as it’s brutal and complex and riveting.
The film is well paced, and with its slow burn, builds the tension throughout the first half. The film is a firecracker once the conflict starts to crescendo, and that’s what I love about the story. It’s thoughtful, it’s poetic, it’s literary, it’s philosophical. And wholesome, despite the thematic elements. What’s actually very admirable is how well-learned the poetry and philosophy are, as I unintentionally missed some of the references, due to the erudite nature of the film and its deep repertoire.
But the poetry and philosophy is what makes the show so interesting to me as an artist, what appeals to me the most, as it is an undercurrent the film features prominently. The point is the creativity. The point is what language can do. The point is what writing is. What words are. I think, from knowing Trenton throughout the years, the point is to show the earnestness of Trenton’s, and the artists working on this film, what that language and poetry is for. For me, personally, writing has always been a cathartic form of freedom, expression, for the mind, for the intellect, for the emotions, for life, and the earnestness that comes through with this film shows just what that earnestness can do for you. While the film itself has some dark elements, some sharp edges, it’s always handled well, skillfully, not overly sensational and always with a point and purpose; and I think the point is to make a great piece of art while also celebrating that art. That’s why the theme of empowerment is so important in this film, and wraps it up nicely.
Technically, I would also add that the show is terrific. I loved and enjoyed the cinematography, the dialogue, the acting, the color palette, the feeling and emotion and message. It’s super impressive.
I enjoy this cinematic experience, and I hope you’ll check it out. It’s a really thoughtful film, a great summer release, an ambitious creative endeavor from multiple forces, and I think captures a number of intelligent themes and ideas. So give it a shot! It’ll most definitely be worth your time, and teach you some things about writing, art, poetry, and words.
