Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
krool1969 To be fair I turned this movie off almost at once. If you want to make a film about women's rights to be legally equal to men, and you title your film after a political movement to show breasts are not offensive, sexual or shameful you don't blur out the women's breasts. By doing so you are sending the exact opposite message. By blurring out the breasts this film is saying that they should stay covered because it might offend someone.This film is a waste of time and money. It works in direct opposition to women's rights.If you want to make a film like this you must have the courage to actually free the nipple. Otherwise, don't bother.
acleancut I love the movie... Don't listen to the critics. It's a new film for the new world ! The message was clear and concise. I wish more movie makers would deliver such a brilliant message in their movies. I think the world needs more movies like this one. Please, if you haven't seen this feature go and check it out. It will enlighten you about the oppression of women. Please go and see this movie. Your opinion of how you feel about women and their rights will be changed forever in good way.I think the main character really embodied the type of female role models that most women should look up to in today's society ! If you haven't seen this movie, go and see you it. You'll be glad you did.
senseofsight18 This film raised a point that many people want to ignore or shame. Female sexuality is represented in vastly different ways in society. We claim to be equal, but if that's the case why is it against the law for women to go shirtless and not men? It's an important example of unequal gender barriers and this movie tries to explore ways we can change those skewed views into something that benefits everyone. I fear that many people judged this movie before watching it. They shamed it without giving it a chance. If you think this movie is a free show or a gimmick, it's not. This movie is about female empowerment and women owning their bodies. It is about the everyday ways women are undermined by outdated and unfair laws. It is about trying to generate change and how sometimes you have to stand as a small group while fighting for millions.
Rich Wright Now, I believe in fighting for a cause. Abolishing child poverty, I'll be right there in the trenches with you. Banning nuclear arms, I'll stand outside a government building for hours, waving placards. Freedom of speech? Need you ask? But campaigning for the right for women to go topless publicly? THIS is the basis for a feature film? SERIOUSLY?!Forget about the absolute chaos that would ensue from the thousands of pervs that would actively be pursuing them just for a picture or a quick ogle. And leave aside the concern that no-one wants to be caught between a mass of jigging body parts on the tube en route to work. Let's just focus on the fact they've made a MOTION PICTURE based on this flimsy premise alone... And treat it with the same solemnity as they would if it were about World War II.So, we get quotes from luminaries varying from Gandhi to Larry Flynt, plenty of philosophising about how America loves violence but yet is remarkably puritanical about nudity, and plenty of girls running round brassiere-free... All in a good cause, of course. This footage will be used to CHANGE THE PLANET, and won't just be jerking material for some sad little virgin in his parent's basement...I actually thought at first this was going to be a documentary... But when the cast started to try and act, I had a sinking feeling... Which unfortunately, stayed with me till the end. It might be 'Based On A True Story', but this kind of script has been rehashed, redone and recycled to such an extent it may as well form it's own genre.There's the ragtag band of misfits coming together for a common cause, they start off small but gradually get larger, then comes a minor setback which they navigate with difficulty... Followed by in-fighting, bickering... Which is also resolved eventually with a metaphorical GROUP HUG. Then, just when things are looking up... Then arrives the MAJOR crisis which threatens to end the entire movement. But not to worry... Thanks to the magic of bumper stickers, posters and endless montages, a happy conclusion is inevitable.The performances are amateurish to say the least, but I'm sure they weren't expecting any Oscars from this project. The attempts at comparing this 'struggle' to great travesties of the past is a LOT more embarrassing than walking around Times Square with your breasts hanging out. The use of the annoying theme song 'Free The Nipple' throughout is repetitive and distracting. Oh, and there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it lesbian kiss between the two main protagonists. I'm not sure why they stuck that in there, since it doesn't lead to anything and is never referenced again. Target audience, anyone? It's fantastic you believe in something, it really is. Go shout about it from the rooftops. Harangue them on the streets. Spread as much propaganda about it as you want. Just don't bother making a rather pointless, sterile film about the subject. No-one watching it is going to be converted to your way of thinking, one way or the other. Perhaps the money spent making it would have been better put towards trying to establish more nudist beaches. There, you can swing your bits to your hearts content... And not cause pile-ups or waste police time in the process. You know it makes sense. 4/10
