100% sure you can tell that same story just as well without the naked statues of women, objectification of actresses etc. It's a lazy choice

Added little to my understanding of the world, of our protagonist or of the themes of the film. Tangential at best. Damaging at worst.

The visual imagination of the film was so extraordinary. I was so happy in many moments. But oh man was I unhappy in that doubled sex scene

I don't normally put my critical thoughts online. But this matters because it is *totally* tangential to the themes & plot of the film.

When the objectification of/violence toward women is so gratuitous, it is a choice by the filmmakers to include it. I find it irresponsible.

Replying to @zoeinthecities
Even if there's a compelling reason organic to the drama for including such material, one need not tell the story. Not even if it's good.

There are lots of good stories. There's no shortage of them whose telling poses no such moral dilemma (even if the stories themselves do.)
