A Good Person (2023)
Great but underage sex cannot be normalized
I don't remember the last time I cried in a movie this was probably my first. The storyline is beyond real and the sequence of event is nothing but truth.
It reflected the really struggle of addiction and how it is mainly a mean or an attempt to heal psychological pain, not physical.
Nevertheless, the scene where the teenage girl is having sex with an adult was being justified/normalized didn't seem ok to me. I thought it was super unnecessary and just ruined its credibility to me. Yet, the scene where the granddaughter was drugged and about to get raped was mere reflection of how being in similar situations usually ends up.

The Exchange (2023)
Reality
Everyone talking about the series being suppressive for women hasn't lived in a society of such. This is a reality. This is how our communities used to be (or most of it). We look back at it because we no longer live it and we are of owe of it. I don't see you commenting on Malcom X movie with the same? This doesn't encourage sexism, it exposes it and how backwards it used to be. We are glad we are out of it. But we also acknowledge that some women still love it till this day. We pray to them to stay strong and that they need to resist and keep believing that better days are coming and they are capable to change.
This series breaks all the norms in Kuwaiti cinema/tv. Be proud of an amazing show.
