It feels oddly appropriate that Ocean’s 8 arrives this year, adding a sweet sense of victory to the tides of change that started decades ago, but gained new life over the past two years from cultural landslides like the Women’s March or the #MeToo movement. Things are changing, and yes, it may seem weird that a heist film starring eight badass women is an icon for us to rally to behind, but it is also ironically appropriate. It takes a woman with authority, ability, and ambition to make things happen, or in this case, eight women.
