CGiii Comment
Activists...love them, hate them...sometimes, when their cause is not worthy, they have to be ignored.
This is a case in point - with all the hideous inequalities women have to contend with - this is not one of them...the right to go topless in public! Nothing but decadent activism!
So...this film has shot itself in the foot from the off.
A comedy, it is most certainly not.
What it is...is a dialogue-driven diatribe on [wealthier] women's rights. Ouch! Painful.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
In New York City, a small group of passionate women launch a revolution movement to "Free the Nipple" and decriminalize the female body. Based on a true story, this mass movement of topless women, armed with First Amendment lawyers, graffiti installations and national publicity stunts, invade New York City to protest the backwards censorship laws in the USA. The film centers on a liberal journalist, named With, who sees potential in a story and hooks herself up with the group of women, led by the idealistic and eccentric Liv, and works with the close-knit of to follow the group in their quest.
