Thoroughly silly and stupidly enjoyable.

It all makes for an immersive evocation of time and place, and a more sober, if still stylish, filmmaking flex from Wright.

There are worse things a male director at mid-career could do than make a movie about women (and co-written by one) for the first time while also experimenting with themes, styles, and subject matter that are entirely new for him.
