I think the problem is that Cate Blanchett has too big an ego to be taught/learn anything, including how to act. But that’s just my humble opinion.
I don’t know enough to notice bad gunplay but anachronistic makeup/hair styling can bother me. Costumes I give some slack because it could be a budget issue.
Yeah I saw a still frame from what appeared to be some sort of post-apocalyptic movie with a grungy super-spy/bounty-hunter type woman as the protagonist. Dirty torn clothes, nappy dreadlocks, the whole works. Clearly hadn’t showered in months. And her pits were clean-shaven. I was like “wat.”
To be fair, armpits are pretty quick to shave and I could see some people sticking with some personal hygiene habits in times like that just to feel a bit more normal. Also, if they don’t have time for showering, shaving armpits might be one of the most effective ways to keep the smells lower, like the difference between needing to scrub a lot with a sponge or just give it a wipe.
Personally, I shave my face because once it gets to a certain length, it annoys me. Same with my head. Now I do use an electric razor for both of those and don’t go down to the skin for either, so whether I kept up with that or went all mountain man would depend on access to electricity, but if I had that access, I would absolutely spend a bit of time managing that because it starts to be a distraction if I don’t.
I don’t know if this is exactly “anachronistic” since the movie is set 20,000 years in the future and who knows, but there’s a scene in the second installment of the new Dune where the emperor is surrounded by his Sardaukar soldiers and they all have LA hipster haircuts.
Yes I think anything that is specifically recognizable like that counts. 80s permed hair is especially noticeable.
I also sometimes notice “old lady hairstyles” in the old movies that those old ladies watched in their teens, copied their style, and kept doing it for several decades, but that’s different.

When it’s supposed to be a post-apocalyptic/survival genre but everyone looks clean-cut, shaven, and recently showered with a day-old haircut 🙄
Oh God yes and women with no body hair in times when only sex workers would shave pits&crotch

Sure, if you can find enough razor cartridges. Armpits are too concave to use a straight razor on I would think.
Granted it is possible she did IPL or electrolysis before the downfall of society, so that is a potentially reasonable explanation
Where do you base this on? Have you got any experience shooting with her?
You learn a great deal about certain people by working high-end retail…
