Sorry for being late for the party, but I totally agree with you. Here's my Letterbox review for the film that addresses some of my issues with it:
Socially acceptable ableism and pedophilia.
Subverts the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope just to play it straight.
How many fking shots of Emma Stone's body do you need? The message of feminism is clear; you can only play a strong, self-actualized woman if you strip down to your socks.
How can no one see this for the Oscar bait it is? Non-disabled actors playing disabled characters for cheap laughs, what is this, Forest Gump?
I don't have a problem with sex scenes, though they bore me, I can understand they're important thematically. Watched Oppenheimer after this and didn't care when one jumped out at us in a movie about literal nuclear warfare. But this movie... Sometimes things are excessive on purpose.
"That's the point!" they cry. But that doesn't make something above critique.
The whole movie is just an excuse to play dress up and walk through honestly beautiful sets under the flimsy guise it follows the plot. Make an art exhibit, not a movie if you want to be offensive and then not explain yourself.
