There is only one woman in this movie, and she is present only so that we can be “amused” by how she is mistreated and demeaned by the male protagonist. [This post is not behind the paywall.]

A woman is dead, brutally murdered. Forget about her, though. It is vitally important that we understand how a bunch of men feel about this. [This post is not behind the paywall.]

This inspired-by-fact tale of the custody battle over a mixed-race grandchildren only just skims the many provocative issues it touches on.
