was surprised by the feminist themes, turns out the director is a woman
this movie feels strangely relevant or adjacently relevant to the experience of women on Lemmy (esp. the tension between nerdy boys / men and women)
I recommend this Canadian film: I Like Movies (2022)

yes!
this film felt to me like the best piece of media yet that offers a "cure" to nerd (even incel) culture - it is filled with hope for a future of cooperation and mutual respect between women and nerdy men, and even gives the men practical advice on how to go about it

It looks like it's on Hoopla on the US for free for library users. Thanks for the recommendation
