Mindy Kaling: White male critics are being ‘unfair’ to ‘Ocean’s 8’
“Ocean’s 8” star Mindy Kaling is making waves about white male movie critics — saying they’ve been “unfair” to the all-female-star reboot of the “Ocean’s” heist-movie franchise.
“If I had to base my career on what white men wanted, I would be very unsuccessful,” Kaling told Yahoo News. “There is obviously an audience out there who want to watch things like [‘Oceans 8’] which I work on.’’
Co-star Cate Blanchett agreed, blaming the media for not getting it right.
“The conversation has to change and the media has a huge responsibility,” Blanchett said.
