100 Nights of Hero Review: Sapphic Feminist Fairy Tale Cannot Keep Up With Its Vibrant Aesthetic
In Julia Jackman's 100 Nights of Hero, storytelling is a revolutionary, feminist act. Based on Isabel Greenberg's graphic novel (in turn based on the Middle Eastern fable One Hundred and One Nights), it is a queer fairy tale with a frustratingly simple allegory. With the aid of production design by Sofia Sacomani, Jackman depends entirely too much on the candied aesthetic of this (slightly) fictionalized, medieval world. Emma Corrin's performance as Hero is controlled, beautiful and strong, but their admirable effort notwithstanding, the film is sunk by its inability to dive deeper than the surface.
