Women Is Losers
The writer-director begins her debut feature with a fourth-wall-shattering scene of domestic chaos, in 1972, that encapsulates the film's strengths as well as its soft spots. A vampy blond notes that most movies about this period would focus on a stereotype like her rather than the hardworking and unglamorous Celina , who's at the center of this story.
Home life is trying for Celina. Her swaggering misogynist of a father, Juan , is a mean and petty drunk, and her put-upon mother, Carolina , takes the path of least resistance, always siding with him rather than with her increasingly rebellious daughter. But Juan isn't the only one with antiquated views of women's place in the scheme of things.
As an unmarried Latina with a child, Celina has at least three strikes against her. In school she was a math whiz, enamored of the logic and"fairness" of the straight line connecting A to B. Good luck finding that in the real world, where she's scrimping and saving to buy a house but can't get a bank to give her the time of day, even though one of her two jobs is in a bank.
Joplin sings that 'men always seem to end up on top.' - And the team had to take this 'Women Is Loser' - to set a feministic agenda, 'Women Is Losers is a fairy tale' - 'she exposes ridiculous inequities against women...' 🤔
Sorry but I can't deal with such lousy grammar. Did it get lost in translation or what?
Whoever came up with this film title should be fired. Women = plural. 🤦♂️
