Noteworthy Female Duos in Movies - Part 1
This list documents movies that have caught my eye for their portrayal of female relationship - whether it's friendship, sisterhood, mother/daughter or even rivalry. And then there also the complicated female relationship like Black Swan. It should be noted that the films in this list have to have a female DUO, not trio. I haven't seen some movies in this list.
