Review of The Woman (2011) by Jt K — 09 Jan 2014
Scathing screed against misogyny and a weird sorta female-empowerment tale, wrapped up with a healthy dose of exploitation. Any controversy it generated isn't really necessary, since the movie wears it's intentions on its sleeve; every character is a caricature (The Controlling Husband, The Enabling Wife, The Woman herself an obvious symbol of oppression and righteous vengeance) that you wait for the story to break free and upend expectations (it doesn't) In fact, the satire is SO thick, it's strange when some elements remain weirdly obtuse.
And yet, it's massive effective for most of its running time, nonetheless.
