WOMEN

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2017)

I remember sitting in a well-lit, spacious classroom talking to my friend who has long, voluminous beautiful hair, and she was telling about seeing this movie in Dubai and saying that it filled her with passion for coding, that Mark & co are so smart, that she wishes we were like them. We were IT majors.
It must have been in 2010 or 2011, as she graduated in 2012, and I did in 2013. Those years I hardly watched any movies, as I was too obsessed with TV shows. I watched hundreds of them, mastering English and failing my classes in the meantime.
Now, in December of 2017, I am getting slowly back to my roots, watching movies and reading articles, albeit very slowly and sporadically.
It's weird, if I had watched this movie earlier, I'd probably have given it 10 stars, because it was gripping, exciting and aesthetically pleasing. But I am too deep in the tumblr and twitter culture now that I couldn't ignore how glaring the lack of good representation of women was in this film. They were either crazy, unimportant, or a prize that was awarded for anyone who got ahead.
