Featured review
A disservice to women everywhere
Watched it to check boxes on nomination nods, otherwise would have never even heard of it. And with good reason.
Seven badly written stories (some barely ok, others just painfully awful), mostly stereotypical and melodramatic, devoid of emotional weight. By the time it's finally over, there isn't one memorable scene, line or character.
It's insane it can now claim to be an Oscar-nominated movie, especially when compared to remarkable films (Nope, Northman, Woman King) which were completely snubbed by the Academy this year, but here we are. Alas, not even perennial nominee Diane Warren is able to save this tragedy, since 'Applause' is as bland as cellophane, better suited to a High School Music sequel that no one asked for.
I just wonder what the hell were Jennifer Hudson and Marcia Gay Harden thinking...
