What critics compared Our Brand Is Crisis to
Considering Chastain’s ball-busting work here and Sandra Bullock’s turn as a ruthless political consultant in “Our Brand Is Crisis” last year, perhaps some glass ceilings have shattered during this election cycle after all.
Like that other insider-Washington story, "Our Brand Is Crisis," it's not enough that the female protagonist is ruthless - she also, in an odd attempt at humanizing, has to be a secret basket case, with addictions to uppers, downers and nicely-torsoed male escorts.
As the movie business searches about for more female-friendly approaches to storytelling genres traditionally built around male action, it occasionally hits on this imperfect solution, casting a flawed female protagonist or dastardly lady villain in such recent efforts as the revisionist fairy tale Maleficent , the political drama Our Brand Is Crisis or the financial thriller Equity .
