Between this and Ocean’s 8 I think my new favorite microgenre of movies is female-centric heist films. Except where Ocean’s 8 just makes me want to eat brunch and be gay and do crimes, this movie makes me want to burn the fucking patriarchy to the ground and dance naked around the flames. And also be gay. That’s probably my own issue. A film of this pedigree – Steve McQueen directing and also co-writing with the unstoppable Gillian Flynn, starring Viola Davis – feels like a recipe for success, but is it anything more than just some kickass ladies stealing shit? Well…
