It now has a rating on RT. I know that SunnyMarch it's little and perhaps they're not in charge of doing it but, is it that difficult to upload a picture? I know that RT isn't great but anyway there is a great number of people (I don't remember exactly the percetage but it is in the article in the thread about RT) who check it regularly. On Imdb the image is that of the book cover and not even the poster which was added to the gallery yesterday, I guess, because I was thinking two days ago to uploaded myself. On Imdb it's at 7.6 but with only 31 votes. On LB is at 3.5/5

I don't remember if it has a American distributor yet but it was almost totally ignored by mainstream media. The only reviews on major publications are in the awful Daily Beast, other tabloids and the much more serious Screendaily but that's British!
Surely, it will receive more attention by UK media during the LFF but it had been disappointing, especially because it sounds interesting!

They're doing an awful job, producers and distributors.

I’m thinking that the movie will become more significant when everyone realizes that almost everyone involved in the production is female. Wasn’t that going to be a big goal for future Oscars? I can’t imagine that Barbie is going to be getting all (or any) awards!
I know that awards aren’t that important, but they really do need to push the female cast and crew. A friend of mine said she saw Barbie, and when I asked her why, she said that she was a fan of the director and of Margot Robbie. She would pay attention if she knew a movie was written, directed, produced and starred by women!

I can't read them carefully at this moment but there is an interesting comment to the Guardian review: Floods? Yeah! There is a huge one right now in Lybia but TBF there had been a lot of recent floods in Europe in recent years. Of course, those Western countries have much better resources but that doesn’t mean it’s not awful or “apocalyptic” for those you suffer them. I mean I remember that some towns totally disappeared in Germany in 2021. And then there is America. In a lot of ways, it’s an inhospitable land. Most people affected by Katrina were black but, you know, there were white people, too. That was a huge “apocalyptic” event (I recommend the Apple series about a hospital crew and patients trapped in the floods. It’s based on real events and it’s disturbingly apocalyptic) And the thing is that there are multiple hurricanes every year and tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. There were also a few major floods in the UK in recent times. Maybe because that’s the major natural risk there is the reason why the author of the book thought on them as the “apocalyptic” “ending” of her country and maybe, just maybe, she also knew an “apocalyptic” one is plausible very soon. And yeah, that it could affect white people. EDITED, This is a list of some fatal hurricanes in the Atlantic and kinda centering on the USA, www.nhc.noaa.gov/outreach/history/It’s not complete, tho. I didn’t see Harvey which killed a hundred of people in Texas and Maria which killed thousands but mostly in Puerto Rico so I guess they aren’t considered “white”. I also just remembered Beulah! Actually, it was in the 1960s so I don’t “remember” it but it was one that also affected where I live (apart of the USA) so people still talking about it! Old people, of course! There was also a massive one in 1909 but storms didn’t have names then. And Gilbert, which is mentioned there. It killed officially around 150-200 people here and it hasn’t been forgotten. That’s around the number of deaths in the German small towns in 2021 and we are a city, it should had also be devastating for them especially because they probably had a smaller number of inhabitants. I found a little offensive when people erase, in these case, huge tragedies to make a pseudo progressive point. Of course, we need to help poor countries that suffer for tragedies and doesn’t have resources but it’s ridiculous to say that “white” people doesn’t suffer them. If anything, it only shows how privileged and uninformed are The Guardian readers!
