Amandla Stenberg confesses she’s ‘naughty’ for texting a film critic

Amandla Stenberg accused a New York Times film writer of objectifying her in a review of her upcoming horror thriller “Bodies Bodies Bodies.”

Thursday, Lena Wilson of The New York Times tweeted a screenshot of a message she received from an actress who was apparently dissatisfied with the review.

The message from Stenberg says, “Your review was fantastic, maybe if you had taken your eyes off my t**s you could have watched the movie!”

The actress later stated on Instagram that she believed Wilson and herself would find her direct message amusing because they are both gay.

Wilson, who commented on social media that she was a fan of Stenburg, did not find the message to be amusing and said she was saddened.

Wilson stated in his August 4 review, “The only thing that truly distinguishes Bodies Bodies Bodies is its role in the A24 hype machine, where it serves as a 95-minute advertising for cleavage and Charli XCX’s current hit.”

Wilson describes the film as ‘bloated with pompous irony’ and says it is ‘perfectly fitted to one of A24’s main demographics: bougie 25-year-olds who value branding over substance.’ The film follows a group of wealthy 20-somethings during a party that goes astray at a secluded family mansion.

Wilson published a screenshot of the message and asked on Twitter, “Do you believe she Instagram Direct Messaged Alison Willmore, Justin Chang, and Anthony Lane in this manner, or not?”

Her tweet contains the names of several cinema critics.

Wilson responds to the actress with the following message: ‘Hey, Amandla! Generally, I am a huge fan of your stuff, but this is just remarkable. I really wish you success in your job and life. Have a good evening.

Wilson added another tweet in the conversation that said, “always strange when the homophobia is emanating from within the home, but at least this is something.”

This is likely an allusion to Stenberg’s sexual orientation, as she stated in 2018 that she is a lesbian.

The critic then pointed out in a second tweet that one line of her 500-word review satirically comments on the objectification of young women to sell content, while random males on Twitter and Stenberg accuse her of being unable to’stop talking about boobies’

The message reads: “me: (spends one line of a 500-word review facetiously commenting on how A24 objectifies young women to sell content)

Men at random on Twitter.com Moreover, it appears that Amanda Stenberg cannot stop talking about breasts.

Wilson clarified the situation in a video posted to her TikTok account.

However, the review ironically commended the performance, she claimed, adding that she did not want anything else to come of this.

“I am devastated to have received this communication at all. I was a true, devoted admirer of hers. But I’m posting it because I don’t want this individual, who has more social influence than me, to think it’s acceptable to behave in this manner.

Wilson, contacted by DailyMail.com, declined to comment.

Stenburg reacted hours after Wilson shared her direct message.

The actress stated, “I’m getting a lot of feedback on the internet for being a really bad girl and for sending a direct message that I felt was hilarious.”

This film critic’s name is Lena Wilson, and she contributes to the New York Times. I thought it was hilarious when she referred to the film as a “95-minute infomercial for cleavage.” I am honored that a publication of such distinction referred to a project on which I collaborated as exemplary.

She also discussed a more serious aspect of the message, stating that she has received a great deal of criticism for her chest throughout her career.

I wore this tank top in this film because both I and the costume designer believed it was a good fit for the role. I do tire of folks commenting on my chest. There appears to be a great deal of unnecessary talk about my chest,’ Stenberg stated.

The actress concluded her video by saying, “Lena, I found your evaluation to be amusing. I found my DM to be amusing. I did not intend to annoy you. I do not wish any damage for you. You are permitted to criticize my work, just as I am permitted to criticize your work. I want the best for you. A “bless your heart” to end all other “bless your hearts”

Wilson writes in the review that slasher enthusiasts would recognize the plot: “Young, attractive people are imprisoned in a distant location and are murdered one by one.”

However, the author notes that the picture is visually beautiful and well-acted.

She stated, “However, this picture is hardly exceptional, and like its shallow characters, it is continually unconscious of its own banality.”

Maria Bakalova (‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,’ Rachel Sennott (‘Shiva Baby,’ and Chase Sui Wonders (‘Generation,’ among the flashy cast) and Rachel Sennott (‘Shiva Baby,’) as well as Chase Sui Wonders (‘Generation,’) are among the newcomers in the cast. Instead, “Bodies Bodies Bodies” is so keen on exuding cool-kid disinterest that it offers an abundance of nothing.
