More standard horror flick, if elegantly presented, than the thoughtful science fiction drama it thinks it is.

Where Are the Women? Jackie & Ryan (aka Love Me Like You Do)

Fri, Jul 03, 2015

Romance for the female coprotagonist isn’t the be-all and end-all of her existence, but rather something from which she draws inspiration for her life. [This post is not behind the paywall.]

Sarah Connor is a character for whom motherhood is about her and her personal journey, rather than rendering her a supporting character in her child’s life. [This post is not behind the paywall.]
