'Dunkirk' critics mocked for slamming the movie's cast

"Dunkirk" may be winning at the box office, but it can't catch a break with some critics.

The Christopher Nolan-directed film was accused last week of whitewashing and now a new review of the movie in Marie Claire called out the film for being too male-centric.

"Dunkirk felt like an excuse for men to celebrate maleness — which apparently they don't get to do enough," Marie Claire's Mehera Bonner wrote in her review.

I would love to say that I am surprised that someone criticized the fact that there were no women in the battle scenes from a WWII epic but sadly, I am not surprised that someone out there was batty enough to do it.

Complaining about there not being enough women in this movie is like complaining that there were not enough male baseball players in "A League of Their Own".

Funny how in 1940 they were more concerned with just surviving and not too worried about being PC. :oyvey

I mean, really, in a WW2 epic about Dunkirk just what females in the historical account of the battles pre-and post aftermath figured into prominence?

One person does not speak for all liberals, or is President Trump's SOP of lying the standard for all conservatives?

You can't choose both.

I suppose the complaint is as valid as complaining that in the movie Wonder Women there weren't enough men represented on the Amazonian island...

Hey, if 'all liberals' are being accused than all conservatives are available for a response.

Fair and balanced! :biggrin:

I suppose that when the first movie based on Hillary and Slick Willy's lives is produced that some dupe critic will complain that there were not enough lesbians depicted in the storyline.

Not sure who you're swiping at but let me point out an obvious distinction between Dunkirk and Wonder Woman.

One is a historical accounting of actual events which I believe most people would agree should not be rewritten to satisfy 21st century political correctness.

The other is a fantasy where producers have far more latitude to pander to public sensitivities.
