. Gemma_Chan's I Am Hannah hit the nail on the head about modern dating for a lot of women. This is why. IAmHannah GemmaChan
. Samantha Morton’s character told the effects of austerity on women inplayed a woman in her 30s who is balancing dating with satisfying the societal expectations around her.
From dancing around her living room with a glass of red wine after yet another stressful chat with her “concerned” mother, to meeting up with the friend who has a new baby and describes her husband as being a “trojan”, then finding herself wiping away tears while on the tube and in the park — this one was very close to the bone for many viewers.
To properly recap: Hannah is a single and successful woman in her mid-thirties. She’s hungry for freedom to make her own choices but is also hesitant of getting tied-down. Constantly listening to her mum’s concerns about her future, and visiting friends who have started families, she goes on a series of online dates to try and find some meaning. However, they send her into a deeper sense of insecurity and anguish.
Sadly, these are all experiences that a lot of women in similar situations can 100% relate to. The strong and supportive response on Twitter proves exactly this. “Suddenly it switches. It goes from ‘Don’t get pregnant’ to ‘You better fucking get pregnant or you’ll have missed your chance’.”
