Buster C Briefly: men bad, men responsible for woman's flaws, period blood, lesbians, strong independent woman, contrived plot point, more period blood, MORE PERIOD BLOOD, women yelling at each other, women crying, women best friends, inappropriate adult child relationship, MORE PERIOD BLOOD, now we're laughing about period blood, did I mention men are responsible for women's flaws? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Leonard N The average rating on this is far higher than the film merits. It is fairly entertaining, but too self-conscious and self-congratulatory to have any genuine weight. It contains the contemporary, woke worldview of a teenager brought up on social media. The male characters are appallingly simplistic and one dimensional in that same way feminist film critics complained about (either utterly supportive and devoid of any character beyond being easy-going and supportive, or egotistical children). Not so much a film in its own right as a "correction". It's like an "everybody's a victim except heterosexual men" piece , written by a bitter women's studies graduate. Abortion? That's absolutely fine, more of a lifestyle choice than the killing of a developing baby, and only bad people disagree. Simplistic left wing tract. Watch Francess Ha, or 20th Century Women. Far, far superior. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Brad M Far from what i expected for a comedy/drama. Far from expectations after seing it ranking no1 in rotten. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Angelia C Amazing movie. Loved It! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review isla s I enjoyed this film in terms of seeing how Bridget interacted and befriended the young Frances. It's fair to say both people learn something and there are some genuinely amusing moments - it is categorised as a comedy film, though I wouldn't by any means say its constantly laugh out loud funny, it has some nice moments, some moments that made me smirk or smile, sure...its quite a nice film with some good themes and the like, though not a typical slapstick comedy type film. There are some genuinely poignant moments present, I felt. I liked the tone the film ends on and what it represents, in a way. It's a somewhat insightful and I'd say its got an uplifting element to it, yes, so yeah, its a good film I'd say. Not earth-shattering or anything but certainly not a bad film, its a good watch and a film I'd recommend, yes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the way Saint Frances handles itself. It's confident, tender hearted, and graceful. It sends a lot of thematic messaging to its story without feeling trite or heavy handed - the "lessons" it teaches deserve to be there and aren't forced. I particularly loved the married couple Bridget nannies for as their post-birth relationship felt so real. The story is so honest in showing how dishonest the characters can be - and when it all comes spilling out the happy/sad release is incredibly gratifying. It's just a really well done movie.
