In writer-director-star Joanna Arnow's film, relationships, self-perception, and societal norms are portrayed through Ann's experiences with BDSM, romantic encounters, and work challenges, offering a dry and satirical perspective.
Arnow's film cleverly captures the absurdity and challenges faced by Ann, played by Arnow herself, in navigating relationships, work dynamics, and personal identity, highlighting the complexities of modern life.
The comparison between Joanna Arnow and Lena Dunham as generation-defining voices shows the willingness of Arnow to explore personal narratives on screen with a satirical flair, shedding light on the struggle for autonomy amidst societal pressures.
Through the character of Ann and her interactions with various partners and work situations, Arnow presents a nuanced exploration of obedience, self-acceptance, and the pursuit of liberation from societal constraints, adding depth and dark humor to the narrative.
