“Mikael Blomkvist is involved in some kind of journalism scandal, very white...”
– All the movies, all the time Read the rest of Sarah’s excellent review of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo HERE. This is exactly the problem I have with this story’s version of “feminism”, and it’s a relief to hear it expressed so well by someone else.
