A female art student is raped at college. She does not like it. She takes revenge and kills a few rapists. She goes to jail. Not a really good film.

Maybe if the movie was released during the #metoo movement, it might have done really well at the box office. It does have Clint Eastwoods daughter in the main role and of course it does have the topic of sexual abuse. There is some reality behind it all which may make some people uncomfortable. 1) because of the subject matter and 2) because of how it handles the topic after it (where it descends into the fantastic and unbelievable).While I don't agree with everything the movie is portraying, the movie itself says that our main protagonist isn't always on the right side (of her mind) either. So if you try to nitpick, there is a lot you can find here. But if you accept this as a thriller and a bit of social message in between, you should be ok. Sit back, relax and do try to take the positive the movie is trying to tell/sell

Revenge showing off with art and talking about real injustice hidden by money and power. It's an entertaining movie, very well acted. The main character is very attractive and his actions surprising and violent allows you to discover in some way same. It's a movie about something that has already been portrayed in documentaries but that is still ignored or left aside as if there was nothing to do ..

MFA was really well-received in its premiere at Austin's SXSW Film Festival. There is a long tradition of vigilante films dating back at least to Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. There have even been a few female vigilantes (Jodie Foster in Brave One, for example), but this seems to be the first set against the issue of campus rape culture and a woman seeking vengeance for being horribly violated. The script and the acting is Francesca Eastwood (Yes, Clint's daughter) and Leah McKendrick (who wrote the screenplay) is excellent. The script is subtle and nuanced. The use of original artwork by the Noelle who is an art student is particularly powerful. There are some aspects of this revenge fantasy that are a little unbelievable, but that doesn't really take away from the powerful story which raises an important issue that is gaining more attention (typically in documentaries like Hunting Ground). While this issue has gained a lot more attention in recent years, the conversation really needs to continue. I hope this film gains distribution, because it deserves to be more widely viewed.
