Review of Turning Red (2022) by Moviewatcher198 — 12 Mar 2022
It was cute! It isn’t the best Pixar movie of all time but it was really good, and it’s something new.
Yes, it covers periods, but in a largely abstract way, it isn’t a biology class video like some of these reviews seem to indicate. They do also use the word stripper and I think the word sexy. It’s really not the end of the world.
Honestly I thought the real heart of the film was about the lead character finding herself in her friendships and her relationship with her mother and culture. A very interesting concept in my opinion. The connections felt very genuine and I thought it had valuable thoughts on the above.
As for “wokeness” I’m pretty sure anything that isn’t about a white American Hardee’s burger marrying an apple pie shaped like a Chevy Camaro is going to get criticized as “woke” now days. It’s ok for movies to offer new perspectives or thoughts. In fact, it keeps our movies interesting.
