at the request of one Jodie Foster), Nostbakken and Sadava were forced to confront their own complicated relationships with feminism, ambition, body image, internalized misogyny and more. In trying to examine and understand a woman’s complex relationship with herself, the film exposes an anthropological truth: no matter how much of our feminism might seem like a reflection of the politics of today, it’s also laden with all the baggage of our mothers and our mothers’ mothers and so on.
“It takes a lot of work to understand that our mothers were reacting to a different era,” says Sadava over coffee at the TIFF Canteen soon after the film’s premiere. “They were living in a different reality and if you’re not cognizant of that, if you’re not looking at the larger picture, the judgment can be so harsh, and cruel. The conversation has to keep reflecting back and forward at the same time which we try to do in the play and movie.
The conversation around gender dynamics has changed vastly since the two began working on the play—#MeToo wasn’t a viral hashtag then, nor were we grappling as a culture with things like thebetween a “bad date” and sexual harassment. In what ways has their own feminism evolved since then? “Now you have to live it,” says Nostbakken. “It’s one thing to come to the realization, but to not regress is a day-to-day battle. It’s so hard to accept that you will be the “angry feminist” in the room. You are that angry lady who’s saying ‘that’s offensive.’ In our 20s we were like, ‘that woman’s not getting laid tonight’ and now we are that woman.
“I was talking to someone the other day about how social media has created this condition of extreme views,” says Sadava. “We’ve stopped listening, we’ve stopped giving ourselves time to process anything because it’s just about reacting. And this film shows a woman processing so many difficult things… we need more of that. We need to start that internal monologue again.”
