Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

Hard on the heels of the hit Wonder Woman film comes a dramatised biopic of the man who created her: William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans), psychologist and Harvard academic. More specifically, the film tells how the feminist ideals and sexual fantasies of Marston and the two women in his polyamorous life - wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), a fellow psychologist, and their shared lover Olive (Bella Heathcote), a former student - fed into his creation of comicdom's first successful female superhero. But, as the film also shows, the character's dominatrix trappings sat uncomfortably with some. The film struggles sometimes with the subtleties and complexities of its subject matter, but it's largely well made and played; an untold tale well told, and one neatly released to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Marston's death. But it's guaranteed to leave you never quite seeing Wonder Woman in the same light again.
