People are happy that Dani escaped an abusive relationship when cults are the quintessence of abusive relationships

I've never heard of this trend but so far it feels like the main criteria is "Women can have a little karmic justice, as a treat."

I like looking at Midsommar as a litmus test for how easily you'd be to trick into joining a cult. If you end the film thinking "Good for her" I have some bad news for you.

One thing I find PARTICULARLY depressing, in Carrie, is that at the end - after the mother who has abused her all her life tries to murder her- she still literally clings to her mother as the grief of having to defend herself from her first and most awful bully causes her powers to go out of control. Yet, I have never been able to find an ounce of pity for any of the kids she killed, even after all these years.

The premise of Gaslight reminds me of when my mother was going through her divorce. She had a restraining order against my (step) father so he would wait until she left the house to go inside and do things like move around stuff on her bedside table, open windows on her computer, or steal one shoe in a pair. Legit just to fuck with her, I had to get her cameras because she legitimately felt like she was going crazy.

This reminds me of the very related character archetype of "The Traumabitch," coined by youtuber Hazel in her two-hour Elfen Leid video essay as, "the kind of character who you see being a mess and you say, 'yep, I'm gonna make that bitch my private twitter icon. The kind of character that's relatable in all the ways she's unsympathetic and dysfunctional... like so many feminine or queer monsters in the past, her rage is cathartic even when it's not communicated to the audience as moral or relatable."

"Gone Girl is NOT a Good for Her movie!" THANK YOU! I cannot tell you how much it irks me that Amy Elliot was treated like a hero, when the whole point of her being written was to be a villain. She's a perfect villain, though.

i can see why midsommar is interpreted as a good for her movie. i thought the same thing the first time i watched it, but that just means the cult's indoctrination worked on us too.

I thought I was the only one who found midsummer to be a cautionary tale for HER, everyone else thought it was a warning for men like HIM.

The thing with Promising Young Women is that it isn't really a rape revenge movie, although they're featured in it. Fennell said multiple times it's about grief and how it and trauma can ruin one's life and affect their actions. She succeeded in exactly what she wanted to convey and it's so annoying that some people trash it just because it wasn't exactly what THEY ASSUMED it was, which is something it was never trying to be.

I always saw Carrie (the original, haven't seen the remake) as a tragedy. Carrie, had she lived, would have been horrified at her own actions that killed the innocent along with the guilty. Only when she destroyed the car speeding at her did I feel any sense of triumph. The destruction of the gym was (and, I think, was intended to be) a moment of horror. It was revenge delivered onto the wrong targets.

I was in an evangelical christian cult when Midsommar came out. It was such an emotional experience that I became obsessed with why it was so powerful and I eventually came to the conclusion that I was indoctrinated and needed to be deprogrammed. 10/10 would recommend because now I’m safe and finally building the life I deserve.

Sounds like that werewolf movie needs to be remade.

I feel like there needs to be a second, separate but related genre called "Bad for Her, Cathartic for Me." Carrie, Dani, Amy and similar characters' endings aren't GOOD for them, but they can still be cathartic to watch if you've ever been in that position where it feels like there is no justice and no escape from the injustice except to go total scorched earth to punish the person(s) who wronged you.

Tell me how every single movie you mention as "Good for her" trope/genre adjacent was either my all time favorite or a grandly enjoyed watch? This analysis was tailor made for me apparently!

I completely agree with you. I wouldn't count Midsomer as a "Good For Her," film. The main character has less agency in the end, didn't orchestrate the deaths of her oppressors, and ended up in a murder cult doped out of her mind. She basically traded one oppressive system for another.

Midsummar tricked us into being so happy her awful boyfriend had died and that Dani was allowed to express her emotions for once that we were excited for her to be in a cult of all things

You put into words why the movie "Taken" has always bothered me. I hate that this girl who is put into this horrible, traumatic situation has to rely on her father to save her; watching it makes me feel like I have no autonomy or agency to save myself or even just take ownership of what happened to me (if that makes sense?). It also makes sense now why I loved the show "Jessica Jones" so much, she is repeatedly raped by Killgrave, but in the end she is the one who saves herself and gets "justice" for herself by killing Killgrave, but the show also doesn't shy away from the trauma it causes her, even after his death.
