It is the 1920s, and William and Elizabeth Marston (Luke Evans and Rebecca Hall) are easily the most glamorous academics on the campus of Tufts University. Gifted young student Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote) is drawn into the couple's orbit. She takes Bill's psychology class and soon becomes an invaluable research assistant: she sneaks the Marstons into a sorority "baby party," an event that bolsters their provocative theories about dominance, submission, and eros. Flirtation infuses the heady air of grand ideas until Bill, Elizabeth, and Olive become a threesome in the bedroom as well as the academy. Their arrangement will cost them dearly, but their struggle to live on their own terms prompts Bill to draw upon his research to create the lasso-wielding Amazonian goddess that would give girls someone to look up to in the male-dominated milieu of comic books.

At the beginning – to my surprise – it starts off as a romance about a strange love triangle in the 1930s. So it’s the 1930s in the USA, there are puritans all over Harvard, and a love triangle – that is simply asking for trouble. The first half an hour is kind of dull and boring… a bit too boring for a biopic maybe. But then things start getting some kind of shape and once the professor develops various creative ideas for Wonder Woman, I started enjoying it somewhat. The second half of the movie was quite OK, but to my liking there weren’t enough scenes from the world of comic books. It’s a kind of romantic drama with the cherry on the pie being the origin story of the best-known female superhero in the USA.

It's magical. It's only at the time of Wonder Woman's 75th birthday celebration that the phenomenon surrounding this amazing protagonist is getting the satisfaction it deserves. After all those TV projects, of which only the Lynda Carter series survived, the Gal Gadot era is upon us. Suddenly it's legitimate to make a biopic about the creator of Wonder Woman and his polyamorous relationship with two women. If you read more, you will realize that Wonder Woman is the most logical response to all the changes that shook modern society in the first half of the 20th century. The stories of the suffragettes, suffrage, the right to own property, to divorce, to be able to have an abortion and not stop being a woman, a partner, and a loving mother, were all happening at an extremely fast pace and if it wasn't for men loving and respecting women, the road would have been even more difficult. The story of Bill Marston charmed the lesbian director of The L Word and the biopic was born. Although Angela Robinson went into the project with all her commitment and got quality actors (especially Luke Evans is excellent in the lead role, and Oliver Platt gave the project an imaginary cherry on top), her budget and experience, especially in television, caused her final film to have some reservations. First of all, Professor Marston & the Wonder Women describes a story of the lives of people in a love triangle over a fairly long period of time from the 1920s to the 1940s, and the actors don't age, and the sets and costume changes absolutely don't keep up. It's all done with the help of the acting and the magic of editing (that's when the comic panels come in), but unfortunately, that's not enough for a cinematic film. The camera is also weak, sometimes even disrespecting the basic rules of working with the axis. It was a chance, but if the story had been waiting to be told for over 70 years, it needed someone who was much more than just a fan to direct and produce. Of course, I am glad that the wave of Gal Gadot fascination is responsible for this little bonus film for all those who love amazing women.

I like what is actually behind the character of Wonder Woman and how she has changed almost unrecognizably in her current form, at least in the sense that she is now a superhero who is a symbol of feminism, not necessarily dominance or submissiveness. It's just that if only this movie were a bit bolder.

In contrast to The Shape of Water, I had no objections to the sexual practices of the main characters. They didn't involve amphibians or any other animals, so I could root for them in their struggle to live in a society dominated by petty bourgeoisie and questionable Christian principles. The film itself had a great retro vibe, and I learned a lot of interesting things about Wonder Woman’s origin. I'm just concerned about female viewers who get excited by fifty shades of whatever, as this film might be a bit too much for them to take. Anyway, I had a great time, so I rate it a 4*+.
