As well, discussions of gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional abuse of women, and misogyny. We were prepared for a good, old-fashioned family Disney musical this week as we ventured into our film. What we got instead was buck wild, convoluted, and really, really problematic. And not in a “gee, it was 1961 way,” but more in a “wow, they really decided to make that a significant plot point” way. It feels like people’s nostalgia of this movie is far more powerful than its storytelling and the acting from several of its leads.
