00:00 - I wondered, what do you feel like male viewers

00:01 can take away from this film?

00:03 - It's a moment of when you watch the film,

00:06 you will hopefully have a moment of reflection.

00:09 You know, I think you can take away a new sense of awareness

00:12 a new sense of, you know, want to change.

00:15 And I think that the film could really re-educate

00:18 a lot of people and especially the younger generation.

00:21 - Yeah, I think, what did you say about awareness then?

00:26 - Yeah, I just think that it's gonna, you know,

00:28 a male viewer could take away a new sense of awareness.

00:30 - A new sense of awareness would be a brilliant way

00:32 to put it, yeah, I definitely agree with that.

00:34 And personally, I think if the characters

00:39 had watched the film, I think things could have been

00:41 prevented that happened in the film, do you know what I mean?

00:43 So I think just in that way, it'd be very powerful.

00:46 - It's amazing it's happening now,

00:48 but I think this has been relevant

00:50 from the start of women, hasn't it really?

00:52 So I just, I think it's amazing that people growing up now

00:57 get to see this as just your average kind of cinema film

01:00 and not some like indie film you've had to sort out

01:04 and like pick apart to find.

01:06 I think it's brilliant that it's just,

01:08 it's gonna be out there for everyone to see.

01:11 And I think to do it in this day and age

01:13 just kind of shows the power of like this next generation

01:16 kind of coming through, like Molly,

01:17 it's like the next generation of filmmakers coming through.

01:19 I think loads of them are just doing sick.

01:22 Yeah, so I think really cool.

01:25 - I think as well in the generation of like TikTok

01:28 and social media, like these stories feel

01:31 even more urgent now because you have it online

01:34 in the same way you have it in life.

01:35 And I think, you know, it's, as young people like

01:39 start to kind of have an online presence even more,

01:43 like films like this can kind of hopefully

01:47 get into those spaces and counter

01:50 the kind of more questionable stuff

01:53 and create those conversations

01:55 that we've been wanting to have.
