Venom looks like Gaga but has more to say

Rating: 1/10 (11 October 2018)

It's the worst movie I've ever seen. This odd Beethoven-inspired arc of Bradley's character is enough to ruin any script. But, I guess, critics had a soft spot for director's debut. That's the only logical explanation for rave reviews. Because Lady Gaga promotes herself as talented and ugly with zero self-irony. And it's politically correct to promote the idea of ugly girl with a talent being "better" than beautiful girl with a talent. Barbra Streisand had charm and charisma which made her imperfect beauty look attractive. She had amazing bright voice. But Lady Gaga in this movie just uses public ignorance telling "how great she is as a songwriter" without really displaying at least ONE hit song. There're no hits in this movie.
For sure, the idea of treating women for their talent first is progressive and feminist - which is cool and "a right thing to do". But you can't just say "I'm talented" in a movie and make people believe it. It's called propaganda and manipulation. Moreover, this movie promotes traditional (patriarchal) views about girls not being able to make a career not through bed. That's why it was approved by critics, too. This is dangerous movie degrading to women. And it's hard to watch Gaga on screen because she resembles Venom.
