Step backwards for woman's rights

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2011)

Sadly, this movie was poor at best. It was given the nod as best movie SOLELY because a woman directed it. To rank it above AVATAR is a travesty. Worst of all, when women perform poorly and are lauded, it makes the world always question whenever a woman is rewarded for exceptional performance - is she getting the 'girl nod'. In this case, a pathetic movie is ranked far above its station, a mediocre director is revered when she should be let go, and truly outstanding women will suffer in the future. No good ever comes from falsely praising poor performance solely because of sex. Hopefully, the academy will ignore sex in the future and chose the best movie for the best movie award.
