C-

The film’s erratic editing tries to replicate character development, failing to align us with the main character as she begins her predictable hero’s journey.

1/4

Asking for It is like a cheap puppet show -- everyone here feels like a flat paper cut-out, jerked helter-skelter by painfully obvious strings, mouthpieces for the man standing just behind the curtain.

“Asking for It” is too much like its cardboard heroines: edgy on the outside, empty within.

2/5

While it depicts terrifying (and sadly relevant) examples of toxic masculinity and abuse, this movie seems satisfied being thin, shallow fluff, dancing thoughtlessly around serious matters.

Asking for It is all posturing, setting up a neo-Old West showdown for our modern sexual political times, but it’s half-assed and a quarter-brained, a checklist of feminist-empowerment cliches and easy targets.

Asking for It is made with sloppy overconfidence, a stunning bluff of both style and substance.
