Review of Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer (2013) by Candice E — 17 Sep 2013
The film fails to educate those outside of Russia the connection between church and state and the feminist plight. Viewers see female police officers, lawyers and judges, thus it is confusing to understand what feminist agenda pussy riot is advocating.
Although the film is slightly sympathetic to pussy riot, they also show documentation of two members sexually assaulting female police officers within a context of a prank, or whimsical performance art.
According to pussy riot, they seem to say that so long as their intention is artistic, or within their rights to advocate freedom of speech, it is acceptable to kiss others against their will, storm into a church while people are praying peacefully and tell them that God is shit.
Pussy riot has some important things to say, and they do so eloquently regarding the justice system which seemed to penalize them more harshly than necessary.
