Absorbing, Great acting, Intelligent, Relevant, Resonant

See it if you are a woman who has ever seen discrimination based on your gender; or you are sympathetic to same. A rather predictable plot well done.

Don't see it if you are looking for big surprises about this subject; you feel that women should shut up and quit complaining; you disbelieve in gender bias

Great acting, Clever, Dated, Entertaining, Funny

See it if you are interested in issues that affect women in the workplace, particularly if you were in the work force in the 1990's.

Don't see it if you cannot find humor in way women were treated in the workplace in the 1990's, or you are not interested in women's issues.

Absorbing, Relevant, Intense, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if you can bear bracing, extended iteration of mentality and behavior made infamous for the moment by Trump. Engaging, well-acted and -written.

Don't see it if you're not receptive to the reality of women treated as second-class citizens in today's workplace or you cringe easily at f-bombs.

Intense, Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if You want to explore the dynamics of women & men as "equals" in a typically male work place. Good dialogue, especially in confrontations.

Don't see it if If the "war of the sexes" is not of interest, If cursing and yelling is a problem, if you want a lot of comedy in your dramedy.. Read more
