This Changes Everything

As a minority I can totally relate to this very well made documentary. I am amazed but not surprised by the lack of gender diversity in the entertainment industry. Really impressed by the work of Geena Davis' organization to bring this disparity to light. Yes, women and minorities are under-represented and yes the time to change is now.

This is not a documentary about a fake problem. The film puts forth irrefutable data about how Hollywood has ignored female creatives for decades. The documentary is straightforward, the data easily explained and put forth. The film puts a spotlight on this glaring problem and will hopefully contribute to the change Hollywood needs.

A really decent doc, but like 99% of the reviews here, I'm completely dumbfounded why they hired a MALE to direct this. The epitome of WTF?

The first half of this movie focuses on women characters and lack of representation on screen and all I could think about was all the great female characters and actresses on daytime TV, but sadly, that genre continues to be ignored.

This documentary was really eye-opening and well done. While agree that it would've been great to have a female director, isn't it ALSO powerful that a male is seeking opportunity to give space for female voices? We need both women AND men to speak up and fight for equality. I also really appreciate the call to action at the end. I immediately started looking up female-directed movies that I can see in theaters and support by sharing with others. I'm just disappointed Netflix didn't pop this up on my watchlist much sooner...yet another barrier to tear down- algorithms that fail to suggest female-based content to viewers.

As a woman who is "related" to the industry through my husband's job, I was really interested in watching this documentary. I know that the crews he works on are all male. I know when an episode of a show is being directed by a woman. I know what kind of racism exists in the studios. So at the end of this - I was gutted to see both a male director and DP. Are you kidding me? Are. You. Kidding. Me.
