Wonder Woman continues to dominate the year, not just in her own outing and the Justice League movie, but in this intriguing examination of her creator and the polyamorous relationship he had that helped form her. We follow psychologist William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans) who in 1940s America lived happily with both his wife (Rebecca Hall) and their student (Bella Heathcote). As their relationship triad blossoms and society judges them, the idea of Suprema the Wonder Woman is born, intertwined with the bondage and uniform kinks explored by her creator and his lovers. The three of them were however genuinely in love and had children together, with the women staying together after Marston’s death. Inevitably Marston’s comics are derided by society’s prudes but he maintains his feminist viewpoint, empowerment mixed with submission with an appreciation of powerful women. You’ll not look at the lasso of truth in the same way again.
