in a year where it was up against a radical racial horror-satire, a women's coming-of-age story, and a non-tragic, non-biographical queer male romance, maybe I can kind of see how a het fairy tale would get that? But it's still a movie where the villain was explicitly toxic masculinity and the lady fucked the fish!

And it had a female lead and a Mexican director no less, who has made a career of dark fantasy films often centered on women. 'Safe' choice my ass.
