**_I loved it, but this is the definition of "not for everyone"_** > _It's about female empowerment in a world that is enormously dark and male-dominated. The idea of what is going on in the U.S. with men and women…where it's about the control of female bodies or how women are objectified, there's a sense of hatred I sensed and it terrified me as I have a wife and daughters. It was also very important that everything that was macabre and mayhem was also spread out between men and women; that's really what life is. How do you accept all forms of sexuality being objectified? And how do you ac__cept all victims in all forms of sexuality rather than narrowing it down to one group that dominates?_ - Nicolas Winding Refn; "Nicolas Winding Refn's Noir Series _Too Old To Die Young_: It's All About Teens & Female Empowerment" (Anthony D'Alessandro); _Deadline_ (March 20, 2019) Created by Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn (_Pusher_; _Bleeder_; _Fear X_; _Bronson_; _Valhalla Rising_; _Drive_; _Only God Forgives_; _The Neon Demon_), and comic book writer Ed Brubaker (creator of the Winter Soldier character), and directed by Refn, _Too Old To Die Young_ is the definition of "not for everyone".
