Gary Ross’ heist film was a fun ride with an all-star cast, and managed to accrue an impressive amount of money at the box office.
And while all-female movies like the recent Ghosbusters remake were met with massive backlash, Ocean’s 8 fared far better.
In the wake of the #MeToo and #OscarsSoWhite movements, there has been a call for more inclusion and diversity in the filmmaking industry.
Part of the reason for this success is no doubt Ocean’s 8’s thrilling and surprising ending heist, which may have given the film enough shocking moments to bring on a sequel.
