New Showbiz Analysis

Anna Muylaert’s direction offers a sophisticated critique of class and gendered social structures. The film places women in positions of power and management, challenging traditional hierarchies. However, the narrative seems limited by the homogeneous nature of its high-society setting. The absence of explicit detail regarding racial and LGBTQ+ dynamics prevents a higher diversity rating. Ultimately, the film explores shifting power dynamics by using the decay of an elite institution to challenge conventional social norms.
