Women against the patriarchate.

Shazaaaam - you're definitely a man right? Hard to believe your reading of the film indicates otherwise.

This is one of those movies that makes more sense in symbolic logic than actual logic. The lives of the three women before the murder are well drawn in flashbacks, but the murder and the women's calm, celebratory reactions to it broke any sense of psychological realism for me. It's hard to think of any real life spontaneous feminist group murder that might compare, so it's more a hypothetical for the director to play with than something you can imagine actual people doing. The movie also feels surprisingly uninterested in morally interrogating that murder (the victim is a thin caricature that has only a few moments of screen time), but rather uses it as a springboard to look at how these three women suffer under patriarchy.

Still, the final courtroom scene is very good and worth fast forwarding to even if you lose patience with the rest of the movie.
