Damsels, Creatives, and Trans Women, oh my! | Incluvie Roundtable | Women's History Month in Film Incluvie Movie Highlights

- Film Reviews
For Women’s History Month, the Incluvie movie critics teamed up to discuss the state of women in film!
Team Favorites
- Greta Gerwig and the upcoming Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie. Ladybird, the new Little Women
- Children's movie Ivy and Bean, The Ghost Who Had to Go, starring two little girls of opposite personalities and different racial backgrounds
- Ava Duvernay and her more serious documentaries. Issa Rae and her hilarious and home-made web series Awkward Black Girl, to Rap Shit which has elements from ABG, and Insecure! Viola Davis in acting and making her foray into directing too
- Jane Campion who won best screenplay for The Piano in 1994, and best director for Power of the Dog in 2022. As well as Kathryn Bigelow with Point Break, The Hurt Locker, and Detroit, which was a great film that got overlooked during Oscar season. (And Chloe Zhao of course! Who was not mentioned here)
- Elizabeth Banks as a director with the new Charlie’s Angels and Cocaine Bear. Stand-up comedy with Ali Wong and her Baby Cobra on Netflix. Taylor Tomlinson, and Hannah Gadsby Douglas is coming back too – so keep an eye out!
We have strong women in film like Katniss Everdeen and Ripley from Aliens, but we also have the "manic pixie dream girls" like Blonde. Phenomenons like "light skinned mermaids and dark skinned warriors" for women in film. From women fighting authentically in combat to how male directors write about "booby boobs bouncing" and nudity, and the damsels in distress displaying their own agency.
There's a lot to get into, including Abbott Elementary, Catherine Reitman, Workin’ Moms, Carrie Fisher, The Hangover, Charmed, The Golden Girls, Blonde, Anything’s Possible, Euphoria, Heartstopper. High caliber suggestions on movies and classics to watch :)
Critics: Melissa, Andrew, Bonnie, Josh, MG, and Atreyo
Production: Cathy, Warren, MG
