In war-torn Myanmar, 2025, a bread factory trapped on the front line faces a power outage and an indifferent boss. As explosions draw near, the supervisor calls a vote: stay or flee. Some hold their ground, while others quietly depart—hope, fragile yet enduring, traced delicately in icing and flour.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, though its feminism may be unintentional, cannot exist without its focus on women reclaiming power. The movie is feminist by definition, even if Amirpour didn’t write it with that in mind. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mesmerizing, poetic, and stunning, both for its portrayal of feminist ideas and its powerful story that is both horrific and subtly romantic at once.
