Review of She

She (1984)
3/10
Does not live up to its title
6 September 2017
I am a fan of Sandahl Bergman, but I gave this a rating of 3. I might have rated it a little higher were it not for the fact that I felt that the makers of this film did a rip-off of the title of the 1935 film and the novel on which it was based. I have no objection to admiring scantily-clad beauties, but I am not entertained by seeing them whipped or tortured. I tend to enjoy campy films, but the campiness in this one often falls flat. There is an unevenness in tone and characterization. The two male protagonists start off as obnoxious macho jerks whose misogynist attitudes, we are somehow expected to believe, are transformed in short order into sympathetic enlightened pro-feminists.
