Despite originally insisting on the provocative title, Kravitz changed the name of her directorial debut to Blink Twice
Reclaiming a negative image or slur can be a powerful form of solidarity within a group that that word has been used against, but, at least according to Zoë Kravitz, the word “pussy” might take a little longer to get to the empowerment stage. Despite initially giving her directorial debut the title Pussy Island—a name we, obviously, had a bit of fun with—she later changed it to the significantly less edgy Blink Twice .
“Interestingly enough, after researching it, women were offended by the word, and women seeing the title were saying, ‘I don’t want to see that movie,’ which is part of the reason I wanted to try and use the word, which is trying to reclaim the word, and not make it something that we’re so uncomfortable using,” she says now. “But we’re not there yet. And I think that’s something I have the responsibility as a filmmaker to listen to.
