Gnome Alone (2017)
1/10
Do NOT let your impressionable children watch!
21 October 2018
This is one of the most sexist children's movies I have seen in the last 8 years. The main character, Chloe, is made to look like a sel-absorbed young girl. She ignores the people around her and gives nearly all of her attention to her phone. This script is full of out-dated tropes from writers and directors that are in their 50's and 60's and believe school bullies and cliques exist in the same way that they once did in their generation. The pretty girls are mean, the jock boys are dumb... and it's uttterly exhausting to watch. The main character doesn't learn to love herself for who she is, and even states that she thinks she needs to change who she is, become more main-stream, to fit in and become more like herself. To whomever believes telling our impressionable young daughters that you have to be a brunette or a blonde, and you can't rock pink hair and save the world: you disgust me.
