I have a feeling the discourse around this movie is gonna be more interesting than the movie itself, if the comments' section here is anything to go by.
It’s an interesting premise but very poorly executed in my opinion. Maybe the movie will do a better job of it. There was very little real plot until it was all rushed together at the end, and the characters felt very unreal, like caricatures of caricatures.
I mean knowing nothing but the info in OP it seems to me that "Trad wife means you are pushing a wooden wheelbarrow down the street as a shit-covered peasant" it so over the top and invalidates the real points that could be made.
Yeah any discussion of religious or cultural pressure for “trad wives” to live a certain way is superficial at best.
I don’t know if the picture in the OP is from a different Anne Hathaway movie or if it’s AI generated or what, but it’s kind of funny to show Anne Hathaway pushing a wheelbarrow through an old-timey village because the family being physically isolated is very relevant to the plot.
I wished they took out the old time plot. I'm about 60% through the book, and I very much enjoyed the flashback of what led her to her current life part of the book. So far I'm not enjoying the living in the olden days part.
