Greta Gerwig definitely proves that life in plastic is not only fantastic, but also uproariously funny, gleefully clever, and joyously, unabashedly, gloriously feminist. Any scepticism I was harbouring quickly evaporated with the hilariously self-aware opening sequence which sets the meta-commentary in motion and establishes the defiant tone which allows for this film to have its cake and eat it too. The exquisite set design and sumptuous visuals further enhance the experience, and this is sure to hold up to multiple viewings. An absolute joy which I can't recommend highly enough. 9.23/10
