With Bridget Jones returning to screens for a fourth film, writer Kate Lloyd reclaims Helen Fielding’s character.
Bridget Jones is back—and thank God, because can I tell you what I haven’t heard in a while? A long, meandering pub monologue about how no one could really afford to live alone in a two-story flat in Borough Market, especially on a publishing salary, not even in the 2000s.
There are some lighthearted references to sexual harassment in there; Bridget and Daniel’s relationship is, er, inappropriate to say the least; and, as someone who has never weighed less than Bridget for as long as I’ve been weighing myself, the character’s detailed analysis of every pound she gains or loses gave me, like many other women, a yardstick to beat myself up with for decades.
