It seems to pretty obviously be a critique to me. The message seems to be that the attitude being presented is damaging.

I liked it.

Honestly, I don't know whether I like it or not. Maybe a few more viewings will settle my opinion.

I enjoyed the contrast of the sort of nostalgic kind of images and clothes combined with the rawness of the presentation. From my perspective it was taking classic kinds of homemaker images from the 50's and 60's and turning them on their face and presenting them in a gritty, often unpleasant way. Like showing the ugly face of the picturesque fantasy.

As I rewatch, it's growing on me.
