Brie Larson was right.
Out of 296 Rotten Tomatoes reviews that I looked at, 211 (71%) are by men and 85 (29%) are by women.
113/211 (53%) of men’s reviews are negative while only 22/85 (25%) of women’s are negative.
There are more negative film reviews of Supergirl by men then there are reviews written by women in total. So it doesn’t matter that women overwhelmingly liked the movie: their opinions are barely registering.
I think there should be some way to weigh film reviews to reflect the target demographics of the intended audience, personally.
But I’ll be writing a piece for @NewSalemNews out hopefully later this week with all of my thoughts.
#Supergirl star Milly Alcock addresses the backlash she received after saying that “simply existing as a woman is something that people comment on. We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies.”
“I didn’t even say ‘men’ — I said ‘people!’” Alcock says. “And they got so angry. I was like, ‘You’re proving my point. You’re proving my point!’” “And [the backlash] is from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you’re pissing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”
