Thomasina Sawyer trades invention for imitation, swapping Tom’s name and gender but leaving his story glued in place. A remake that wants to be modern without actually daring anything new — proof that real representation comes from fresh characters, not refitted classics.

Warning that this review contains some spoilers. I must state that I did not enjoy the movie. Apart from a few light-hearted moments, I found it incredibly vacuous.
It appears to glorify cruelty, with ghosting and abuse presented as central elements.

I watched Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and what comes to mind is: misquoted. As well-made as the film is, I’m left with a strong sense of disappointment.
Ho visto il Frankenstein di Guillermo del Toro, e la parola che mi viene in mente è: travisato. Per quanto il film sia ben fatto, alla fine mi resta un forte disappunto.
One detail, in particular, strikes: Del Toro ends his film inspired by Mary Shelley with a quote by Lord Byron!?
Un dettaglio, in particolare, colpisce: Del Toro chiude il suo film ispirato a Mary Shelley con una citazione di Lord Byron!?
A symbolic gesture, but symbols matter.
Un gesto simbolico, ma i simboli contano.
Today, you, director, draw inspiration from a woman who, at eighteen, wrote a masterpiece that continues to inspire readers, writers, musicians, and filmmakers… and what do you do? You end your film with a quote by Lord Byron? As if Mary Shelley hadn’t written countless lines that left a mark. As if Mary Shelley had ever needed a man to legitimise her. Seriously?
Oggi, tu, regista, trai spunto da una donna che a 18 anni ha scritto un capolavoro che continua a ispirare lettori, scrittori, musicisti, registi… e cosa fai? Chiudi con una citazione di Lord Byron? Come se Mary Shelley non avesse scritto un’infinità di frasi che hanno lasciato il segno. Come se Mary Shelley avesse mai avuto bisogno di essere legittimata da un uomo. Ma davvero?
If this isn’t patriarchal culture…
Se non è cultura patriarcale questa…
Ne ho scritto più approfonditamente sul mio blog.
I wrote about this in more depth on my blog.

Jean (2016) blends Southwest mythology, gentle caregiving, and quietly eccentric fantasy into something tender and surprisingly wise. A small story set against enormous landscapes, with a tone that feels both homegrown and otherworldly — and yes, Lee Majors really does voice a mystical rock.
