Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Anthony Lane for The New Yorker — 19 Mar 2018
This movie is a smooch-free zone, and the arc described by its leading lady, proud and nerveless, is an elegant one: she starts by taking a punch to the face, without malice, from another woman, and, at the climax, delivers one herself—unmanning her male opponent with a decisive thump to the groin.
If Lara Croft weren’t already a role model, she is now.
