>>Does anyone think . . . Robyn slept with Gordo under her free will and
the “drugged” part of the video was either staged or took place at an
earlier point.

Zing?

>>Let me put it to you very VERY bluntly. Rape bad!!!!! Movie with possible rape in it bad!!!!! I don't give a shit about "context". Rape movie bad!!!!!!!!

Hm, I don't think you're getting it. No one cares if you go see the movie. You are not being "yelled at" for refusing to see the movie. You are being ridiculed for being so 100% certain you won't like it by so whole-heartedly embracing the assertions of one review, and a heavily rebutted review at that. By all…

They're not saying you should go see something you won't like, they're saying that you concluded you wouldn't like it based on the false premise that the movie "treats her like a prop." Several people have now said that isn't the case, that the reviewer is way off base, and thoroughly argued their points against…

>>When a film shows a female character possibly getting raped as something that happens to her husband, not her, then people get outraged

>>Why would her being drugged and raped and possibly impregnated be part of her character arc, when it should rightly be her husband's arc?

>>Her arc is . . . never knowing if she was raped? etc.

Pill popping? She doesn't even take the pills. Gordo drugged her Gatorade. But the fact that she is struggling with that and has this messiness in her past is part of what makes her human and three dimensional. Or is she just supposed to be flawless?

Yes, except for the part where she leaves her husband immediately after she's given birth, no agency or power at all. Good point.

Oh, stop it. A cosbyesque argument would be "she didn't know, so it's okay." I'm not saying that at all, I'm addressing the reviewer's assertion that the movie is more concerned with his reaction than hers, implying sexism on the movie's part. I'm saying, if the two of them had seen the tape together and the focus…

Well played, sir! Bravo!

Prank, if you can't see the difference between a CHARACTER "using" her and THE MOVIE "using" her, I can't really help you.

The movie doesn't do that, the above notwithstanding. One could argue that Gordo ultimately USES the wife as a pawn in his plan, but the MOVIE makes the wife a smart, sensitive, strong, three-dimensional character with a very clear arc. If the ending makes it sound like not your type of movie, that's a pity, but…

Dunno what he claims is an influence, but those are fair comparisons…though for me, it mainly brought to mind a cross between "Rosemary's Baby", and a terrific Spanish film called "Sleep Tight", starring the ultra-creepy Luis Tosar.

>>Gordo, as it turns out, is something of a creep,
