The Handmaiden

i’ve watched it multiple times and let’s say it’s not for the plot (i’m joking) (kind of)

I will never be able to listen to Jingle Bells the same again.

- One of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen
- Amazing lesbian and feminist rep
- Women ❤️
- Beautifully shot
- I typically have a hard time sitting through long films, but I was invested the whole time

Usually I’m not the biggest fan of watching movies where I have to read subtitles the whole time, but this one drew me in enough that it didn’t matter to me. I liked how it was told from both perspectives, I was also not expecting the twist which was refreshing.

To boring

i totally see how ppl view this as fetishy and male gaze centered. i was lowkey lost in the plot for like a half of this film but i did not watch it in one sitting so that's kinda on me. i enjoyed the double plot twist and #lesbian happy ending tho
