A documentary on the influence of women in independent film over the last two decades.
I had seen almost all of the movies (High Art, Household Saints, Who Shot Andy Warhol, Dogfight, True Love, Little Man Tate, Home For the Holidays, Boys Don't Cry, etc.) that were discussed as land-breaking and for some I didn't realize that they were directed by women. They were just damn good movies. Isn't that the ultimate compliment?
All the films that I had seen have one thing in common, they seemed real. Not necessarily any circle that I would ever run in but a part of the world that the mainstream doesn't get exposed to but knows exists.
Well worth any movie lovers time if only to introduce them to some little seen films that were very well made and acted. I will be scouring the video stores for the ones I missed.
