I started transcribing the beginning of the interview and then just summarized the rest of it under the cut for those that are interested; there are no spoilers for the film but if you watch the video of the interview itself, it does have some clips from the movie just to give warning for those wanting to go into it blind like I did!

I enjoyed it! As a few commenters have said, a bit of work needs to be done with some of the pacing and editing. But for a first time director, definitely impressed. And whew, Dev Dev Dev 😮‍💨

Who has seen the film? I've seen critiques that it is misogynistic and I'm curious

[sandstorm]

I would consider who exactly is making the criticism; someone who thinks showing something in a story means the creator approves, or ... and wow I don't know how to put this because there must e a cultural term I simply do not know - people who still adhere to a worldview of a very strict gender binary.

depiction = endorsement is lazy reading most of the imo, context and how are always important

[syvlie0o0]

Misogynistic? I wouldn’t say that. The camera work is awful though.
