Acid Test (2021): 1992 Riot Grrrl still rings true after 30 years

2012 was the year I discovered the Riot Grrrl movement. I was 17 and was going through a lot in my life with my parents being divorced, pressure to excel in all school subjects, and exploring my identities. I was living in the countryside of the smallest state of Brazil…

Betty Davis: Seeing the Queen through different lenses

I remember the time I found Betty Davis’ music. I was 19 and in the second year of my graduation course. I became so fascinated with her bold style which included silver thigh-high boots, slips, fishnets, leather pants matching seethrough blouses with no bra, and glam rock leotards; and when…

How Daddy’s Home by St. Vincent turned me into her fan

Prior to 2021, I wasn’t a St. Vincent fan. I used to every now and then watch her 4AD Sessions performance of the song Surgeon, and I even thought that the song perfectly fitted my life. However, I couldn’t get past that, and I didn’t understand why since I was…

Maid (2021): Emotional abuse IS abuse

WARNINGS: The review contains spoilers; the limited series portrays domestic violence. *I used the pronoun he/him to refer to the abuser because of the statistics that show us that domestic violence is mostly perpetrated by cis men.

Promising Young Woman (2020): Reassessing the female revenge thrillers

This reviews contains spoiler and trigger warnings. There have been a number of female revenge thrillers in which the protagonist seeks justice through blood. Meir Zarchi’s 1978 I Spit on Your Grave, Bo Arne Vibenius’s 1973 Thriller: A Cruel Picture and Abel Ferrara’s 1981 Ms. 45 are some of the examples I can think of now, with…

Seberg (2019): biopic doesn’t do its namesake justice

[Spoiler alert!] Jean Dorothy Seberg was born in 1938 in the state of Iowa, United States. In less than two decades, she’d know the sweet taste of fame which would turn out sour. Seberg made her film debut in the title role of Saint Joan (1957), by director Otto Preminger…

If you believed that the 90s punk feminist movement, Riot Grrrl, which combined punk music, feminism and politics, was a thing of the past, you are utterly wrong. The early movement surely is emblematic as it has paved the path for young girls to take over the front of the…
