Women in Film Wednesday: Enough Said (2013)
Allyson Johnson January 7, 2015

I watched Enough Said in January of last year and fell pretty head over heels for it and its directer, Nicole Holofcener, most of whose filmography I would then go on to see. In a similar vein to this…

Women in Film Wednesday: Muriel’s Wedding (1995)
Allyson Johnson December 24, 2014

So there’s this movie called Muriel’s Wedding and it broke my heart. Toni Collette stars as the titular character Muriel, and she broke my heart. ABBA is played a lot, and that’s whe…

Women in Film Wednesday: Waitress (2007)
Allyson Johnson December 3, 2014

Women In Film Wednesday: Fort Bliss (2014)
Allyson Johnson November 26, 2014

Women in Film Wednesday: Marie Antoinette
Allyson Johnson November 19, 2014

People have grossly misunderstood Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and what it’s really about. It seems as if everyone becomes history buffs after seeing this film, calling foul about the lack of accu…

Women in Film Wednesday: Spirited Away (2001)
Allyson Johnson November 5, 2014

It’s kind of recognizably sad that one of the best creators of fully faceted, strong-willed female characters is a man. But, considering how dominated by male influence the film industry is, it’s not …

Women in Film Wednesday: We Are the Best! (2014)
Allyson Johnson October 29, 2014

I keep talking about 2014 films, and I should diversify what I’m talking about, but with the slim pickings we have this year of great female driven films, it’s hard for me to not gush over the few we …
