The acting was wooden. The dialogue was unnatural and pretentious. The cinematography was boring and dark and the colors unappealingly desaturated.
The screenplay was dull and trite and by trying much too hard to be profound, it succeeded only in sounding ludicrous.
Even the excellent actresses in the cast were unconvincing. The uneducated characters the actresses represented would not have had the vocabulary to use the feminist jargon and supposedly high minded dialogue the actresses were given to say. Most of the characters came across as unlikable and shrill rather than profoundly and justifiably hurt by their abuse.
It could have been so good. It was wasn't.
