A Feminist Review
by Elliott Marie

I’ve heard a lot of talk about how Mad Max: Fury Road was such a great feminist movie, and I agree with the great, but not so much the Feminist. However, I have to live up to my Feminist Theory professor and appreciate the good things while critiquing the bad. For starters it was a good try, and merely stating you are trying to create a feminist movie is a good move, but they didn’t completely pull their weight.  There are about 5 female characters other than Furiosa in the whole movie. I get that the whole movie has a very small number of people in it, but my problem with this was that all 5 of these women were basically Victoria Secret models with a little dirt on their face.
