It's bad.....horribly written....horribly filmed......stupid premise...... i hate that i like some of the people ON OTHER MOVIES. they need to blacklist all the behind the scenes folks from Hollywood See more 08/06/2022 Strong women taking back a previously male dominated and female exploiting genre 🤟🏻 all while making a point out of the exceedingly toxic male presence that still exists is the 21st century and remaining entertaining throughout 👏🏻 See more 07/26/2022 I honestly don't know why this movie has such a low rating. Maybe people are too scared to give it a higher rating because it speaks the truth that us woman who are victims of sexual violence and rape they just stand up for ourselves and we are stronger together. By the end of it I felt so inspired for what me and my daughter have been through and I now tell people who have been through the same to watch this, because this world is tainted, dirty cops, men who don't care. This movie gives our voices power. When we have been made to keep quiet. See more 07/03/2022 "Asking For It" is a time capsule period. It touches on the exact pulse of what is occurring as the country gets more and more divided. The way it deals with the aftermath of Joey's rape is handled in such a beautifully nuanced way. The way the man who raped her WAS a friend is exactly my experience and unfortunately that is more common than not. Watching the fast cuts of her outfit changing and days collecting on top of each other. The simplest movements of others creating a dissociated state. In this state processing the trauma will not happen. That IS trauma and PTSD. You are in the constant state of fight, flight or freeze. You get a sense that all of these characters have so much agency and inner lives. Regina is a force. I feel like it is similar to that feeling I had when I discovered Gregg Araki's films as a teen. The rating on this film is sad because I think it has ALOT to offer in the conversation about what does it mean for women to take back their narrative? What does it mean to NOT allow abusers to BE the narrative? We are living in a time where women rights are being pulled back and watching this is a very important reminder. See more Read all reviews
