Review | Julia Roberts’s latest is as confused about #MeToo as it is about academia

But as a pedantic bonus, I also have years of experience being raised by academics, so we first must talk about how, in this movie, Julia Roberts is a philosophy professor named Alma who hosts lavish parties in her multimillion-dollar home (No), where the Ivy League guests bop one another over the head with Kierkegaard references (No) and fret about the fact that only one of them will be awarded tenure (No) while Andrew Garfield’s shirt becomes progressively more unbuttoned (No, but okay).
