Women have always been integral to science fiction, and these amazing women prove why.
The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
We are incredibly blessed that this movie is available for us to see, and we should take advantage of the opportunity we’ve been given.
