‘No Paradise If You Are Killed by a Woman’ Review: Iraq’s Oscar Submission Offers a Patriotic Anthem to the Kurdish Pes…

Comments

1. ☕️ Rayan: this is basically just "Black Widow" but with a better context
2. Liamnilsson: suddenly we're supposed to care about female empowerment in a war movie because of one sniper?
3. Ashen Ronin: finally some quality cinema out of iraq... who is this female sniper though? sounds like she's giving us a more nuanced take on the peshmerga 💬
4. Rogue Halo: intrigued by the concept of subverting traditional action hero tropes, but I've seen these kinds of stories struggle to resonate outside their cultural context - does this one manage to
5. Lucaswex: seemed more like an action movie than a patriotic anthem - I'd love to know what made them go for that tone.
6. Eliassato: love to see kurdish women getting recognition, but i'm still waiting for someone to make a film that genuinely subverts the heroic trope instead of just swapping out the protagonist
7. Fractal Cinder: interesting that they're playing up her individualism, what does the film say about the importance of coalition forces in taking down IS?
8. Obsidian Reaper: finally a film that does its own thing rather than rehashing the same old white dude protagonist formula
9. Karimluna: the peshmerga get little attention in most iraqi films; good to see this one giving them some props on and off the battlefield
10. Mirage Nomad: can't argue with the action scenes, but isn't this just rehashing the same narrative of heroism that got us into these wars in the first place?
11. Theo: finally someone subverts that tired action hero trope and actually makes a female lead believable
12. Verasuzuki: love how visually stunning this movie is, but can you really say it's breaking any new ground with the whole female action hero thing? feels like we've seen this setup before
