100-Word Movie Review: I finally understand the hype about Lisbeth Salander. This is a female character rarely written about in books and rarely seen in films. Rooney Mara captures her fierce nature and vulnerability in equal measure. The story focuses on abuse of women as an overall theme, and raises a question about the depiction of the issue. When a story is critical of rape and sexual abuse but portrays it in such graphic detail, when does it cross a line of criticism into a realm of exploitation and fetishistic fantasy? By the end of the movie, I still don’t know the answer.
