A Movie About Cancel Culture. Or Maybe Not.

The director's voice breaks the fourth wall with as much subtlety as a character waking up to say that everything was merely a dream. The moment is jarring, and implies that everything that happened on-screen until then shouldn't be taken too seriously. Some critics have interpreted the ending as a glib last-minute twist that threatens to neutralize the story's potency and dismisses the seriousness of the movie's premise.

What Will It Take for Survivors of Abuse to Heal?

About one in six women in the US will experience an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime, but 63 percent will be dealt with privately, often without reliable outside support. This is why watching and listening to Jeffrey Epstein's survivors come forward with their stories is astonishing. The media are focused on the importance of criminal prosecutions and the pursuit of justice, but will real healing ever be possible?
