The Columnist (2019)
5/10
Twitter sucks and so is this movie
8 October 2021
Time to purge the online trolls.

Have you ever seen trolls on Twitter harassing other people? Do you feel fed up with all these comments? Well, our columnist felt that and now she wanted to get physical with these trolls.

The scene where she started to do her thing got me by surprise. I read the synopsis but for some reason I did not expect that she would do that. After this, I got excited to see how crazy this movie would go, but I was wrong. For only an hour and 24 minutes, this movie was pretty boring and slow. I believe that the violence and gore would have make the message about online harassment more impactful. They got what they deserve right? There was not enough violence in here to make me enjoy the movie.

Then, the theme itself was conflicting. On one side it's about freedom of speech through the daughter character, but on the other side it's about limiting this freedom of speech through the main character. I became confused on what this movie actually want to achieve.

Overall, it was just another shallow work from a leftist director. 4.5/10.
