I was at the academy screening with a Q & A with the cast and Todd. The moderator did not understand the film at all and proceeded to pontificate about his personal view that this was a gender reversal film and there are more people in hollywood that needed to be rooted out, rather than a sophisticated commentary on cancel culture itself. Is it OK to cancel Bach because of identity politics enforced by presentism? Does her crime fit the punishment especially when it is void of due process? Blanchett set the moderator straight with a bold sardonic quip, to which I was the only one applauding, and kept applauding, until slowly people felt safe to join me in celebrating her courage. Hopefully there will be more brave souls that stand up to this cancel-culture mob tyranny.
