Review of Girl 6 (1996) by Ade A — 17 Apr 2011
A mixed bag. But once again, the critics miss the mark. I don't see it as voyeur or male fantasy, both in the way in which the male callers were shot and Randle's performance. It wasn't about sex, you dolts, it was about the need for connection.
As for the claim about the girl falling down the elevator shaft being a blatant representation of Girl 6s own descent, that again is incorrect, or at least incomplete. Much like the She Hate Me subplot with the whistleblower, it's commentary on how black people are memorialized, or ARE NOT, via media and history and its implications on a modern-day struggling actress whose story and struggle is almost always ignored.
