MISBEHAVIOUR MOVIE REVIEW
Leigh: It's fascinating, isn't it? Because this moment in history is so pivotal, it was almost like a flashpoint for the Women's Liberation Movement. But the event itself was a bit underwhelming: they threw some flour bombs and rushed the stage, and got taken away in a paddy van. It was bold and it was brave for the time, but in terms of the film overall, it felt quite anticlimactic.
Tim: Yes, you're right. It went to a place and they were fist-pumping the air at the end, and I'm like, okay, so now the credits are gonna roll, this is actually exciting now.
Leigh: Can we talk about the credits though, because I loved the ending. There's this moment in Misbehaviour where they connect the characters to their real-life counterparts. And I love the way they did it – they look at the screen and then it turns to the real person looking at the screen and smiling. That's a good way of doing it. Rather than just putting the pictures side by side.
Tim: I thought it was really effective and impactful. And I felt more emotionally from that moment because of the direct down-the-barrel and then seeing it transition into these real-life women, these beautiful women who obviously made an impact in society. I thought, “Where was the connection?” Where were these moments with these characters throughout the film? I love a good strong ending to close the credits. But it's not beneficial to the overall experience of an audience when a film achieves more in the credits than it has throughout the life of the film.
