As you may know, the percentage of women directors hovers around 9%, which is a ridiculous statistic in 2009 (or ever). It's not (just) that Hollywood is sexist—-if female directors brought in the big bucks on opening weekend, studio heads would certainly sit up and take notice, as might Oscar voters. But how to find out when these films are showing? Well... come here! (Update: Hmm, the same year I start this blog, the Academy nominates TWO female-directed movies for Best Picture! Coincidence?)

In Theaters: The Runaways
Hello daddy, hello mom! I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Opening this weekend: The Runaways, directed by Floria Sigismondi
I would definitely recommend it! It is a rock biopic, so it does hit the expected beats (heh), but if you're interested in the music and the time, it really captures something. Kristen Stewart is also really good--I was surprised, but I think she nailed it.
so, how was it?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of it, but Kristin Stewart not so much.
