Amandla came to this conclusion because Wilson wrote in her review that “the only thing that really sets it apart is its place in the A24 hype machine, where it doubles as a 95-minute ad for Charli XCX’s latest single and cleavage.”
Although Stenberg later stated that she’s tired of people talking about her chest, it’s worth noting that Lena Wilson never specifically mentioned Stenberg’s chest.
The DM Wilson received from Amandla specifically says, “Your review was great, maybe if you had taken your eyes off my t**s you could have seen the movie!”
