M.F.A. (2017)

A female art student is raped at college. She does not like it. She takes revenge and kills a few rapists. She goes to jail. Not a really good film.

Noelle (Francesca Eastwood) is studying painting at a Californian college for her MFA. She is invited to a party by hunky classmate Luke. They make out but the sex turns rough. She tries to stop but is overpowered by him. Her neighbor Skye counsels letting it go as she had done with her own rape. Noelle decides to report to the school therapist but her questioning is accusatory. She joins a help group but the girls are ineffectual. She confronts Luke and accidentally kills him. She decides to turn into a vigilante. Police detective Kennedy (Clifton Collins Jr.) investigates.Clint's daughter Francesca Eastwood is an interesting new actress. She hasn't broken through yet but she has the charisma to get noticed. She has a nice dark side and does damaged well. The writing is a little pedestrian but it generally works. More needs to be given to Clifton Collins Jr. His is the key for tension and drama but he isn't given the needed material. Generally, this is fine but it doesn't really push the envelope.

Sad that side characters are better at acting than the main character. Not that it is just Francesca Eastwoods' fault. The character who s a mixture of Kira from Death Note, Dexter from Dexter (duh) and Emma Stone, requires one of the hardest acting skills which Eastwood doesn't have. She gets raped and accidently kills someone. So much to act. She has some nice sweater stretchers tho. And Eastwoods' neighboor is either a crackhead in her 20s or a 40 years old collage student. How old is she suppose to be anyway? Amd tge director wasn't even paying attention i believe. Camera switches are pretty awful, scenes done superficially and lacks of emotion. Got to mention the sound director who had done a great job. Sounds were pretty realistic and minimalistic which is awesome.Plot was lame AF. Some twisted minded feminazi who thinks killing is acceptable wrote one of the dumbest story ever. Eastwoods neighboor kills herself so Eastwood can escape prison, but she forgets that someone else knows who is the real killer, so she dies for nothing.Last scene was damn cool.Not just because the movie is ending. The director managed to wake up and film a badass scene at the and. Gotta give him/her that.Overall, the movie was a total time waster. Unless you are a feminist. If so, be ready to flick your beans for 90 minutes straight!

Revenge showing off with art and talking about real injustice hidden by money and power. It's an entertaining movie, very well acted. The main character is very attractive and his actions surprising and violent allows you to discover in some way same. It's a movie about something that has already been portrayed in documentaries but that is still ignored or left aside as if there was nothing to do ..
