Strong Women's Game

Actually this movie is very un-American, I mean, feminism has never been part of mainstream American culture, and what about the heroine of our movie? We can call her "super-powerful", a woman with strength and ability, who plays all the male characters in the movie in the palm of her hand.
In fact, I really appreciate the director's setting of the film's structure. The opening part of the film is a typical black humor style, the middle part becomes a romantic light comedy, and the end subversively returns to a black humor drama.
I'll admit, I do have a penchant for this kind of movie that moves between genres and genres.

  • Harlan: How the fuck do you stay up here? I mean, these people... I go in the store this morning for cigarettes, they got ducks under the counter. What, do they plant these people or do they just grow out of the ground? And they look at me like, hell, I don't know.

    Bridget Gregory: Well, you know, they're not used to seeing guys like you around here, if you know what I mean.

    Harlan: I don't believe this. You're crazy. Shit.

    [he exposes himself]

    Harlan: Okay, there, you happy?
