wendy k @wkalthoff 03/03/2024 It was okay but very repetitive. There were a lot of famous stars in it. I wonder how the director decided to come up with the idea .I found the first hour not great, but I enjoyed the second half. See more 05/24/2021 The purpose of this statistical and personal documentary is providing an argumentative statement responding to an action that supports the framed concern whilst supposedly ongoing with a need to update on the topic's current coverage. It bluntly calls out Hollywood over their now apparent sexist discrimination as women filmmakers, who are just as driven and passionate as the other gender in the field, details their careers and what sort of treatment they received with lesser opportunities. Therefore, understandably one-sided which is titularly purposeful as this is a formed letter of complaint that will be ignored and not provide answers/explanations towards the overall picture, otherwise the insights would be helpfully supported in a deeper sense but top heads' cowardice fears backlash over their reasoning that would put them into more negativity. Also, as expected despite already honored the women pioneer's social groundbreaking barriers in early cinema, the topic coverage stands incomplete when lacking historical contexts that adds more fighting chance importance to the role whereas actual credit is due then minimally realized out secret then erased acknowledgement. This documentary is a must-see relevant essentiality that stands among other documentaries particularly on film with dated but still timely urgency.

See more 10/26/2018 Great directors line up one after the other to reveal just how entrenched & crippling the scourge of patriarchy is in the film business. See more 09/28/2018 This movie made me want to post on rotten tomatoes and be a voice at least to female viewership. I can't say all female directors speak to me, but many movies and topics are. It'd be amazing to see more diversity in the hollywood scene!! See more 06/24/2018 Half the picture has a good message behind it but as a documentary it's really nothing that special. It's more than just a bunch of interviews or semi famous directors talking about their lives and experiences. I don't feature some more successful women directors featured here as a majority of the ones here have directed some pretty Bad films. The documentary also doesn't go into much depth about the subject as I was hoping for. It's a bunch of interviews and really that's about it. See more Read all reviews
