LOOKING FOR SIMONE (2024) DOC NYC 2024

Portrait of Simone de Beauvoir and her book The Second Sex and how it changed the world.

Moving  with a certain urgency, this a film with a chip on its shoulder. It is very desperate to make its point about how women are viewed in the world. It’s film that shows us just how big a bomb the book was when it was published some seven decades ago.

I’m not quite sure what I feel about the film. While I like the story and the information that it is presenting to us, the sense of urgency with which it presents everything left me breathless. I’m not certain I really had time to process what it was telling me. I really should see it again.

That said it’s absolutely worth a look
