Sweet Girl's Mind-Boggling Twist Makes the Movie... Feminist
For the most part, 'Sweet Girl' recycles tired hyper masculine revenge tropes, but a surprise twist in the end turns it into a female-centric revenge film.
Antígona 442 A.C.
In ancient Greece, a young princess faces the king's order that one of her brothers who fought in the war should not be buried. Antigone buries her brother and pays for it with her life. Antigone's act is sacred, it obeys the human law of caring for our dead. King Creon's act is a political act, a punishment. Who is right? Inspired by Sophocles' play.
