Saint Frances (2019)

Saint Period, which is mostly what this movie is about...

Pure millennial progressive liberal leftist drivel. The movie is more about Bridget the irresponsible, selfish, narcissistic nanny and very little of the little girl Franny who while adorable thus far has done nothing but be a little one who gives out absolutely no sage advice which the title and description would imply. Franny is a somewhat typical manipulative child at times who finally offers some simplistic advice towards the very end of the movie which could and would have been dolled out by literally anyone. Quite the letdown. This movie promises a lot and delivers so very little...

The movie attempts to portray women as cerebral deep thinkers, who are suffering as slaves and brave freedom fighters against the patriarchy and phallocracy to which all I can see is self-victimization not to mention the portrayal of men as useful at times when needed simple-minded enemy coupled with a little snarky remark about white men in the very beginning of the movie. This movie even goes so far as to blame the pseudo boyfriend/lover for what a woman has to endure in regards to consequences from their post-coital bliss even though she was a willing participant in intimate relations. No culpability or responsibility on the part of Bridget. A total sham of a movie.

If you weren't already familiar with the biomechanics of the female body well you certainly will be by halfway through the movie. This movie reminds me of all the things lampooned in the movie PCU starring Jeremy Piven. This PC wannabe movie was neither fun nor inspirational and reveals itself to be the sexist movie that it is and pretends to hate and not be.

I found very little if anything redeemable about this movie aside from casting light on postpartum depression which truly does need more attention and understanding. The very misleading title, description, and preview of this movie looked and sounded promising but ended up not meeting expectations. I would imagine that if you live in the liberal Northeast or California, Washington state, and their ilk then you will likely love everything about this movie because it breaks from and shuns traditional norms and values. The movie itself shows its bias and that's fine but you cannot expect everyone to eat what this movie dishes out and say "yum!" when it's more "yuck".

Please let children be children and not let them in on the complexities of adulthood to which they cannot relate nor possibly fathom until it personally affects them. Let children enjoy life a little and maintain their innocence as long as they can before being thrust into the myriad of adult life problems...
