[@samsaraatkis6098]

No. But Tall Girl could have been movie with nuances on how modern social media and the beauty industry creates body dysmorphia and terrifying anxieties where there were none, so that her huge speech in the first movie would have just incited reactions of "Huh? We never gave a shit that you were tall, we were just making fun of you the way friends make fun of each other in high school" And then Tall Girl 2 would have been her grappling with this revelation that people may not really have been paying as much attention to her tallness as she thought and the realization that everyone else, including her seemingly successful sister, is also dealing with similar anxieties she has about her body.

This reminded me of her signature quote in the first movie that's been rightfully made fun of repeatedly.

[@nanalove3819]

Yeah exactly! I'm the first person to say that people have their insecurities, their anxieties, and that we shouldn't dismiss their feelings because people have hardest lives. But then, she says things like "I wear size 13 Nikes. Men's size 13 Nikes. Beat that". And seriously, how do you not respond to that with "there are peopl with cancer, no home, who are killed for who they love", and so on? They bring that to themselves.

As someone with depression and severe anxiety I symphatized with Jody's self doubts that seem to stem from small things. I get it. Like when I take public transportation, a lot of times I worry throughout the journey whether I paid the fare correctly and am I respectful enough with other passengers, and is my behavior pleasant enough so I don't disturb others. This kind of things bother me. I tried to place myself in Jody's shoes, and I am sure that I'd feel that much (probs more severe) anxiety and self doubt like her. I don't want to invalidate irl people's feelings who relate with Jody's. It's just ... for movies or any piece of media, they can certainly go beyond when it comes to crafting a story hence, they have a great opportunity to write a story involving a character who represents people that needs more visibility and yet they still chose to make a story like many others that is centered around a rich beautiful white girl with a loving family, supportive boyfriend, and good friends. Sorry for the bad english. Not my first language.

[@despicablepenguin]

I don't think the problem is that she's privileged although it would be nice to have a minority main character (in all capacities, not rich, not white, not have a loving family) but that they write it so fake and don't dig deep enough into her problems or show it in a deeper sense to show them as problems so it's shallow and well to us, a non problem. I mean we have had "minority" main characters in Netflix rom coms (Lara Jean, that girl from he's all that who's supposed to be poor??) But they really never touch on the fact that they are a minority or the systematic problems that they face. Yeah, anxiety is a problem but all I see is the self doubts (I didn't watch the movie) but not the fear, the rapid heart beats, the nausea, the micro things that effect your life the most. I mean the self doubts are one of the things but it's not all of it and then where is this coming from? She doesn't have anything that would cause her anxiety or make her have anxiety besides being tall but they also don't show why her being tall would make her feel awkward or uncomfortable or not like in the spotlight except for the fact that she's bullied for it which ig sure (but I think she's only being called nicknames and then doesn't describe the body dismorphia of why being tall is bad and not conventional and instead goes for cheap nicknames like sasquatch) but also she kind of acts like this is the biggest problem in the world which it's not. Like anxiety is about small problems but it's about small problems that build up. Anxiety comes from somewhere I'm pretty sure, it doesn't just happen and then it makes you panic at the littlest thing and you don't know why. Jodie doesn't have any problems (at least not shown in the movie) though so it seems disingenuous (like it just doesnt make sense. Anxiety is fight or flight. What is she scared of?!!?).

[@yasmineguerin2852]

@@despicablepenguin it is the problem

[@druidbottles]

Is it weird that I think this movie would be *so* much better if her being tall just didn't matter? Like, if instead of trying to push that being tall is this huge problem, it focused more on her self esteem issues and anxiety and how sometimes those things aren't caused by anything specific? If this was a movie about a girl who had a seemingly perfect life, but *still* suffered from these feelings of self doubt and hatred, I think that could have been such a poignant story. Because mental health issues don't discriminate. It seems like this movie threw in her poor mental state for shits and giggles, but they could have done a lot more with it and handled it much better.

[@fiorefiore9910]

Both movies would have been better if they were actually ABOUT her anxiety instead of height. Maybe in the first movie no one is actually bullying her for being tall, they're just occasionally making jokes about her height (but not in a mean spirited way); but every time she takes it personally and gets anxious. She manages to get over her obsession with height thanks to her friends and family's support and finally gets a boyfriend. Then in the second movie her anxiety gets in the way again because of the school play and she ends up screwing over her relationship with milk crate guy. If her anxiety was treated like an actual illness that gets in the way of her (otherwise perfect) life the story would be WAY more compelling and relatable.

I really wanted her to choose the other guy because I felt like kart guy didn't know who he was individually without her

[@kaasstengel140]

how one chick just went 'my dad doesn't care about my accomplishments and disappoints me every year' and she just starts talking about her breakup like hell no

[@hannahschmitt8442]

“I would say I was going to the bathroom, but tip the candles and burn him alive in the house.” There’s that slytherin energy we love

[@fmschmidt1251]

It's the synchronized yawning at 13:38 for me...

[@withcindy]

U can really sense how engaged we were

[@m87020]

that girl really has no external problems but I get what it's like to have that voice in your head stopping you from enjoying even the smallest of things. her anxiety is still the only relatable thing about her though.

[@s_p1644]

11:00 we’ll that was an abrupt turn of commentary💀 I love all the plot twists

[@gwynsome]

This is a little unrelated but I just wanna say how much I love how Cindy designs her thumbnails nowadays! It's really cool~ ugh, graphic design queen 🤩

[@luthientinuviel3883]

The singing and dancing is giving me traumatic flashbacks of Riverdale Heathers But it's worse because I was actually in Bye Bye Birdie when I was 13 and its a wonderful memory. How dare you sully my memories Tall Girl

[@withcindy]

Omg ur Jodie from tall girl

[@apriln4540]

So I'll be the voice of dissent and say that a movie like this probably would have helped me as an anxiety-riddled kid. Anxiety is crippling and is blind to your socioeconomic status. Other people could say "wtf your life is perfect what's the problem?" but anxiety IS the problem. I get that there are other stories that deserve to be told not centered around a privileged white girl, but that's more of a meta critique than a critique specific to this story. I'm gonna go *real* broad for a second (sorry I know this is just a review of a dumb teen movie and doesn't deserve this level of scrutiny, but bear with me). I don't like the idea that we should curb our empathy for individuals just because of their demographics. I think twitter especially has a bad habit of dismissing people's individual struggles if they're not from an "oppressed enough" group, but it doesn't make sense because the whole point is that oppression is *systemic*, not individual. We can and should empathize with the individual regardless of their identity. I can even empathize with people who are "too pretty" as you joked about, because they never know if people like them for their personality or if they're being viewed as a trophy. In my mind, the way to fight oppression is not to reduce our empathy toward individuals from the dominant group, but to use political levers to change the systems that are actually causing oppression. That said, I can absolutely understand not having empathy for powerful people from the dominant group who are perpetuating systems of oppression.

[@alexparra15]

I see where you coming from and I do believe that we should empathize with people regardless of background, I feel like what makes it so unbearable with the movie is how it frames the whole thing of Jodie being tall as her issue without showing any struggles that feel realistic enough, like sudden growth spurts makes you feel awkward in your body, heavier and its harder to coordinate your limbs, having to always stand at the back so you don't block the view for others or hunch over to talk with most people which leads to back problems, little stuff like that that may not be the biggest problem in the world but still feels real. Instead it goes for the usual no one ever liked me and everyone bullied me exclusively for this one thing, that makes the movie feel so unreal and fake. Also, the script is overall just really bad and the acting doesn't really help at all for most, and I think that's why so many people have it so much.

[@Xatalla]

@@alexparra15 Not to mention we never see her invisible struggles with being a Tall Teen; it's not just towering over her peers, but Jodi would struggle to find clothes that are suited to her style that would fit her well, and going to a specialty shop when you're a teenager and you can't find ANYTHING that fits you like your friends/peers? Constant assumptions of her interests due to her height. Not the stupid tall jokes but like 'oh you must be into basketball' or stuff like that; as you said, constantly hunching over or slouching to basically FIT into smaller places, forget about finding a comfortable seat anywhere. And yeah, these are all minor--but real. And as a teen she'd be focused on her own problems.

[@rice3844]

honestly, the reason why I made fun of this movie and her problems isn't because her anxiety is invalid because she's white. It's because her "anxiety" feels like it was added in to give her a "real" problem because the producers realized being tall isn't worth two entire movies. If this franchise focused on her anxiety and mental health issues from the get go, I think I would've appreciated it more.

[@yasmineguerin2852]

Anyways so

[@brienneoftarth7361]

12:08 I once told Luke Eisner (the blonde guy with long hair) to try an audition for Tamlin's character on that ACOTAR tv series and he and his girlfriend thank me, so yes if you ever see this man playing Tamlin in a near future... The sugestion was mine 😂😂

[@pragnyan7770]

The fact that they wrote and produced two whole movies where the only problem is that the girl is tall💀

[@persephonexx]

Whenever you're casted as the token minority in a Netflix film, you'll be my fav character. Get that coin! :D

[@withcindy]

I hope sooooo!!

[@dariam.zeretzkialiendre3421]

These reactions with Ellias do more good for the world than the entire police force.

[@ellias]

its the way the milk crate refused to carry the short king in the movie and broke.....just like how i broke down at this movie. 🥴

[@glouise9837]

Ok but why did i never realize the dad from Diary of a Wimpy kid was a part of this mess??

[@evangelynbeltran202]

The Zahn!!!!!!

[@danidifranza9858]

The way I watched this movie through this video and was actually rooting for the two best friends anyway, good for them steal the show babes

[@withcindy]

They were the only good part

[@deliri0um]

you guys have so much sarcasm this was so much more entertaining than a season of this movie could be

[@sunandflowerpots9931]

If Asians got even a quarter of the amount of encouragement this tall white lady is getting for A PLAY i think we'd truly take over the world.
