Remembering the original, Harold Pinter screen adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale

I feel old. I remember when this came out I was probably a freshman in HS. It looked kind of interesting but seemed billed as some sort of feminism piece and I wasn’t sure what it was about. If only it had been billed as sci-fi dystopian whatever (maybe not precisely sci-fi) I would have watched it in a heart beat (bless my young adolescent heart). Just finished the book, wish I had read it back then. I was always intrigued by the movie just nothing ever nudged me hard enough to watch it.
