In order to understand how patriarchy works, one needs to watch Joyland. It spares no one. Young and old, male, female, trans. Joyland is a masterful film that should have been nominated if not won, the academy award. It is a vivid, powerful tale of family dynamics beautifully executed and acted.
A gorgeous story about love, loss and identity. A performer seeks stardom, a dissatisfied husband finds his true self, a mother buckles under the burden of life and a society writhes under pressure of tradition. You have to see it to experience it.
