Review of The Handmaid's Tale (1990) by Rita Kempley for Washington Post — 10 Dec 2019
If the movie stands between good old messy, toxic America and depraved Gilead, blessed be it. But alas, it's unlikely to appeal to the converted, much less bona fide brimstone eaters. And one can't help but wonder why a woman didn't direct this movie about women being dominated by men.
