Butthurt boys

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2019)

Look at the review stats before you brush this one off. Brie Larson made some comments about diversity among movie critics, and how a 40-year-old white man was not the target audience for A Wrinkle in Time. Similarly, while Captain Marvel is, obviously, a Marvel movie, it's not geared toward the men, either, though the guys I saw it with thoroughly enjoyed it because they're not the nutjobs screaming that this movie is "sexist" or that Hollywood is getting "too political." There is nothing political about letting girls know they too can be a hero. Or at least, there shouldn't be.
From the perspective of a woman who grew up hearing all of the comments girls do: you're not good enough, you're not smart enough, you're not strong enough, you can't join the boys, smile more, you're too emotional, etc.: WE are the target audience of this movie, and the reviews (the real ones, anyway), reflect that. This movie is for all the little girls who will grow up to be badass women.
All of that being said, it's also very funny, the visuals were fantastic, and the soundtrack was killer.
