will arrive in theaters on Friday and some critics seem a little turned off by the film’s out of touch feminist messaging.series has never been known for its depth or messaging and has generally been regarded as a fun popcorn flick for women in need of some theater-going eye candy. According to some critics,tries a different approach for the third time around by injecting some feminist gender politics into the proceedings.
That’s your first clue that this “Dance” packs a decidedly woke approach. The focus is on consent and female empowerment, according to the film’s early reviews, not bulky men parading for the pleasure of women and gay men. The film desperately strives to be a spectacle with a tired, faux-feminist message. It is a grandiose love story made for a rowdy audience with unromantic expectations. A filthy early dance sequence promises more for the horndogs, and Stephen Soderbergh’s slick direction lends some artistic cred, but this threequel is gutless — and relatively crotchless.
