This is one of those movies that make me suspect the film makers are getting off on the sadism.

Sucker Punch is a great movie that gets way too much hate from people who don’t engage with the media honestly. Idk how you could outcry this being exploitive when stuff like Euphoria, or Dahmer or whatever that threesome tennis movie is on about gets a free pass to exist.
Western audiences like their movies simple. With the message spoon fed to them.
I’m certainly not saying this was a “high brow” movie, but it didn’t tell you what to think. It just showed you some stuff and you were supposed to have your own reaction.
I really liked it. Unfortunately we’ve got people (in this thread no less) that feel like if you liked it, you must be some sort of deviant.
It certainly was a divisive movie.
