Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

This is a section of Richard Schickel's review of The Women remake:

Mary has a daughter named Molly (India Ennenga), who is a standard-issue adolescent Wise Child, victim-commentator on the adult follies proceeding around her. At one point she is discovered burning her tampons, symbolizing her desire not to become a woman. That's an understandable feeling, given the adult company she's been obliged to keep. But it's a stupid sequence, neither funny nor touching nor well prepared for. It is merely awkward and desperate, like everything else in this film, which is, in fact — and I'm choosing my words carefully here — one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Pretty strong language. The bolding is mine.
