Ocean's Eight (2018)

Director: Gary Ross. Cast: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Dakota Fanning, Elliott Gould.

Things go wrong on so many levels. Starting (again) with the basic Ghostbusters fiasco, where equal opportunity in Hollywood translates to inserting women in men's roles (without any gender-specific justification to do so); continues with bad directing by a good director, who wastes time on unnecessary listless scenes; accompanied by an entirely uninteresting Asian actress (who among such superstars should actually prove herself the opposite), placed for the sole reason of political correctness ... among other failures. The film is merely a showcase for some of the beautiful faces in showbiz today, at the service of undermining women in the mainstream.
