Women in Film Wednesday: Obvious Child (2014)
Allyson Johnson October 15, 2014

I don’t believe I’ve ever watched a film that spoke so frankly about womanhood. Obvious Child is crass, it’s sweet, it’s funny and intelligent, and most importantly it’s relatable to young women. Jenn…

Women in Film Wednesday: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
Allyson Johnson October 1, 2014

This Friday, David Fincher’s newest film Gone Girl will be released in theaters, and it’s already being called one of his best. While that will likely be debated once it hits a larger audience, for no…

Women in Film Wednesday: Belle (2014)
Allyson Johnson September 17, 2014

For a year so tediously bereft of meaty stories about women, it’s nice to find the rare story about a woman and directed by a woman as well. This week I’m talking about this year’s film, Belle, which …

Women in Film Wednesday: All About Eve (1950)
Allyson Johnson September 4, 2014

Hello and welcome to Ally’s hastily slapped together version of Women in Film Wednesday. Why, might you ask, is it slapped together? Well, as it would happen, I forgot my days of the week and Wednesda…

Women in Film Wednesday: Agnès Varda
Allyson Johnson August 20, 2014

When you think about the French New Wave, you think of a few key directors: Jean Luc-Godard, François Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, Claude Chabrol… etc. etc. It’s very rare that you hear the name Agnès V…

Women in Film Wednesday: Whip It (2009)
Allyson Johnson August 6, 2014

It’s odd, but I can often tell when a film is directed by a woman, even before having read who the director is. Typically it’s due to how the female relationships – family or friendship – …
