someone on the movie board said that barbie is "the best woman-led movie ever by far." now i haven't seen barbie, but this kind of seems like an overreaction and is quite possibly not true. they were upset when it was suggested that they haven't seen many films.

so my question to you is this ce: what are your favorite movies led by women? also curious to know your favorite performances by women and favorite films by a female director (if you know directors)

I'm pretty sure the talk about Barbie being "woman-led" means a lead female actor WITH a female director. Name a couple more of those and start the debate.

sight & sound did their once-per-decade poll of thousands of filmmakers and critics last year. the movie that was voted #1 by critics is a movie made by and starring a woman.

it wasn't barbie btw since it hadnt come out yet.

It's a fun film, but no. That's thinking the last thing you saw is the best thing you saw.

I dunno . . . Off the top of my head:

Yentl
Lady Bird
Mildred Pierce
Room
Kill Bill
The Accused
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Silence of the Lambs

Better than Barbie.

People really keep listing movies not directed by women. Also, Kill la Kill is trash. The only redeeming thing about Kill la Kill was Blumenkranz.

Gerwig's Little Women was better than Barbie. Raw and Portrait of a Lady on Fire are also better films with women leads and directed by women. Barbie was an entertaining and enjoyable film though, and it had great sets.

read the first prompt again. Having a lead and director being both women is just a bonus prompt.

just sounds like you're looking for a fight.
