Diversity makes movies worthwhile. Below, you can find links to the female-directed movies we’ve reviewed so far. Hopefully one of these days, there will be as many leadership opportunities in Hollywood for women as for men. Until then, this page serves as a reminder of how far we still have to go to achieve equality in film and maybe provides a jumping off point for your own exploration of women in film. Most of all, it’s an opportunity to share with us female-directed films that you love but we haven’t reviewed yet – let’s make this list grow!
