I think A Star Is Born looks great and I’m excited to see it, but as a woman who doesn’t have cute privilege, I roll my eyes when Lady Gaga (or any gorgeous woman in a movie) says that all her life, people haven’t liked the way she looks. Give me a break.
Yeah, there’s a huge difference between Hollywood studio blockbusters where even the “unattractive” women have to be conventionally attractive and, say, the wonderful films of Mike Leigh.
