SO MANY THOUGHTS!!!! 1. Is Mad Max the one? And also, thinking about this particular kind of baby woman goes crazy killer/aggro when she gets a brain in relation to Gone Girl which preceded the 2015 trend but was a movie that made men “scared” of crazy/wiley(?) women…and then also thinking of don’t worry darling and more robot women and the trope of the quiet/complicit woman (Olivia Wilde will not be seeing the gates)…I don’t have any real formed thought but this was SO GOOD it lit my brain on fireee
