The film, directed by David O. Russell curiously did not make a splashy festival premiere despite Russell's awards bait track record and having 15 names above the title

These reviews are what everyone involved in this movie deserve

margot robbie going out of her way to take a solo pic with david o russell is a choice

hope ppl don’t forget this when she starts spouting them feminism talking points on the barbie press tour

She's only a feminist as long as film/comic buffs are fawning over her the most with barely any competition to take shine from her.

This is his first film in seven years, feels like a lot of built-up discontent is getting aired over this.

If it wasn’t for the DeuxMoi sub, I wouldn’t have known Drake was an executive producer on this, so now I hope it bombs

Even without knowing his past abuse on and off set, I saw his last 3 movies and hated them both. I just don't know how all these actors (couple of them woke) decided to work in this film, with this director and not see the backlash coming. Reminds me of the Woody Allen film with Timberlake and Winslet and the backlash they deservedly received.

Yikes @ Robbie doing films with DOR and Brad Pitt (again). Wonder if her people (which I definitely believe) won't allow interviewers and journalists to question about her doing all these movies with abusers.

I totally agree. His latest movies have been unwatchable.

I’ve only seen silver linings playbook and it was mid af.

She was questioned about working with Tarantino after the stuff about him choking Uma and putting her life at risk for stunts came out. Her response:

“The thought definitely crossed my mind,” Robbie said of signing up to work with Tarantino, “like, will people view this decision as conflicting with what I’m doing on the producing side?...It was my lifelong dream [to work with Tarantino], and I got to do it, and it makes me sad if people might hold that against me despite everything else I’m doing,” the actress said.

Robbie continued, “I don’t know how to say what I feel about it, because I’m so grateful to be in a position of power and to have more creative control [as a producer] when that is embraced and encouraged now. At the same time, I grew up adoring movies that were the result of the previous version of Hollywood, and aspiring to be a part of it, so to have those dreams come true also feels incredibly satisfying. I don’t know. Maybe I’m having my cake and eating it too.”
