Yeah, I think this review really misses the point, so I would say it’s worth seeing. I think some of the controversy has been around how/if she gets “better,” but I would argue that in putting the focus on her struggling in secret (rather than on healing) it captures a pretty accurate issue of motherhood.

Did you see it or are you basing that analysis as a review. (Not a snarky question, an honest one.)

Because, man, that is not how I saw the movie. I’ve found new motherhood to be incredibly lonely, among other things, and out of her desperation she splits herself in two, in order to find someone who will understand…

Uh, yeah, that line really upset me, too. But it’s fitting in that this sort of dismissal is such a huge part of the problem for mothers of young children—-it’s what the movie is actually about, isn’t it? The traumas of postpartum life are seen as “miniscule.” You have a cute baby to hold, and if the baby is healthy,…

Huh, that’s interesting. I never got that from the trailer.

I first heard about this movie because someone posted it in a new-moms group I’m part of (I have a 16 month old) and we all immediately saw it as a movie about the challenges of postpartum life. A lot of people commented that it looked “too real” and they…

I was pregnant so I bought myself cupcakes. The night ended with a pregnant lady, sob-eating a cupcake and yelling at her husband ‘Michigan was never supposed to even be in play!!’

woah, fat lady here. not sure the joker v Trump fat joke is really relevant.

Hahahahhaahhahaa. The past few days have been so effing bleak and this has brought me so much joy. Thank you my friend. Thank you.

But she had full control over Lemonade. She got to tell her story, on her terms, the whole way through. An interview with vogue would have been mediated through them.

Star for ‘lesser kids’

Unless the Dems take the house in 2018

I have a four month old (my only child). Basically, my baby and this administration are the same age. Adding kids to the mix definitely makes things feel sadder and more overwhelming—the stakes are a lot higher and our sweet little kiddos deserve so much more than this asshat is going to leave behind.

Bravo on a perfect answer.

Your statement is entirely accurate except for the part where you say Reese’s suck.

On some level I’m probably just grasping at straws, to make myself feel better about the situation, but I’m hopeful that those people are turned off by Trump.

But what is his approval rating among independents? Specifically those that voted for him? That’s a number I’m really curious about.

Also, the North Korean dictator is even more fucking nuts than Donald Trump. It’s never, ever happened that two crazy people at a bar got into an argument and then both walked away calmly, realizing “this just isn’t worth it.” I pray to god that someone close to 45 can be the slightly-sober friend who pulls him back…

In all honesty, thin mints are the only Girl Scout cookie that really matters, so I’m okay with all of this. I *am* a whimp about the cold; that’s my biggest deterrent, because I love you Canadians.

I’ll keep your son in my prayers tonight. ❤

I just had a serious conversation with my husband deciding that if shit got really scary here we’d leave the country with our now 3 month old son, trying to decide how you tell when it’s time to go (preferably before a nuclear bomb gets dropped), and figuring out where we’d go.

Hey, dude, take a deep breath. I didn’t say bernie bros lost Thomson the election. I have clarified my point many times throughout this thread and apologized for being unclear in my initial comment. But, hey, it’s the internet, so why engage in civil discourse when you can swear at someone and insult their…
