      Chile '76 (2022) [1976] is equal parts character study and taut political drama... There is no payoff, no cathartic visualisation of fear, only a persistent sense of dread that never fully dissipates. - Seventh Row

      Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) Without a doubt, this is my favorite film of the year. Céline Sciamma perfectly captures the slow magic of falling in love for the first time. - Woman in Revolt

      Always Shine (2016) Be prepared to deal with the wrath of a female friendship gone wrong. Always Shine is laden with so much tension that I felt the strong urge to take a Xanax while watching. - Woman in Revolt

      Braid (2018) Have you ever done too many psychedelics and experienced ego death? This movie is like that, although a little less terrifying. I can't wait to see what Mitzi Peirone does next. - Woman in Revolt

      South Mountain (2019) South Mountain is a beautiful meditation on loss, forgiveness, and self-discovery. What does life look like when the most important people begin to leave? - Woman in Revolt

      A Colony (2018) What I liked most about A Colony is that Dulude-De Celles doesn't spoonfeed us information; instead, she lets facial expressions and small gestures do most of the talking. - Woman in Revolt

      Mr. Soul! (2018) "Mr. SOUL!" is unapologetically Black, feminist, and queer. The more you learn about the show and its enigmatic host/creator, Ellis Haizlip, the stranger and cooler it is. - Woman in Revolt

      Sweetie (1989) "Sweetie" is a film about people who can't cope with their emotions ... who don't know how to let each other in and will likely never figure it out. It is not an easy watch. - Woman in Revolt

      Certain Women (2016) To write this film off as a simple story about 3 women in Montana would be doing it a huge disservice. It might be quiet, but its ideas are not. - Woman in Revolt

      The Fits (2015) "The Fits" isn't perfect, but it's a great example of what can be done on a small budget with a solid cast and crew. A must-watch for any aspiring filmmaker. - Woman in Revolt

      The Love Witch (2016) "The Love Witch" is one part Alejandro Jodorowsky, one part Elvira, with a smattering of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" (aka my twelve-year-old fantasy come to life). - Woman in Revolt

      Big (1988) Oh, this movie. It's not sad, but it makes me tear up every single time without fail. It's delightfully 80s and Tom Hanks is an adorable heartbreaker. - Woman in Revolt

      Orlando (1992) Despite my misgivings about book-to-film adaptations, Sally Potter's "Orlando" impressed the hell out of me. It's opulent, cheeky, and fun as hell. Woolf would be proud. - Woman in Revolt

      Wanda (1970) When "Wanda" premiered, Pauline Kael (and many other US critics) called it a mundane piece of garbage. But they were wrong ... it's a feminist masterpiece. - Woman in Revolt

      It's Complicated (2009) "It's Complicated" is worth watching for many reasons, but mostly for the scene where Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Meryl Streep get stoned and dance to The Beach Boys. - Woman in Revolt

      Everyone Else (2009) "Everyone Else" is probably the best film about a disintegrating relationship I've ever seen. Ade has a real knack for visually representing deep emotions. - Woman in Revolt

      Fat Girl (2001) I first saw this movie when I was 13 years old and it made me want to take a vow of celibacy. It is brutal and if seen at a formative age, inescapable. - Woman in Revolt

      The Second Mother (2015) The ending kind of ruined this film for me, but I still recommend watching. Regina Casé shines as Val and the rest of the cast is similarly superb. - Woman in Revolt

      Sweet Bean (2015) Soft, gentle, and kind ... until it knocks you down on the ground and guts you like a fish. Despite what some may say, "Sweet Bean" is far from saccharine schlock. - Woman in Revolt

      Innocence (2004) If David Lynch and Ingmar Bergman had ever collaborated, it might look something like Lucile Hadihalilović's breathtakingly beautiful "Innocence." - Woman in Revolt
