I would have liked to hear why the "Director" and the
"D. P." were both men. I can applaud a largely diverse crew, but still ... this male director was your absolute "best" choice from your list of all available directors?
Were all the Women directors working?

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.

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.
The content of this documentary is great. Fantastic interviews with so many powerful women in Hollywood, it's fascinating to hear from everyone from Shonda Rhimes to Merck Streep about the state of Hollywood for women.
The editing, however, is extremely confusing. Rather than tell one linear story, you get a grab bag of clips and sound bytes that I can only describe as being like a very long trailer.
Also, when the credits rolled at the end and it came up with a man's name as the director I actually laughed out loud. At one point the film literally instructs anyone working in the film industry to take risks and hire female crew. It splashes shocking statistics across the screen showing how few films are directed by females, and all the contributors being interviewed are attesting that "it's not that hard to just find qualified women to do these jobs". To hear a film tell us exactly what needs to be implemented, but then not even be able to implement that on their own movie... took some of the wind out of my sails

And I saw the director was a white male. This film is about gender inequality in the TV and movie industry and they couldn't hire a woman to direct this?!

Reese Witherspoon: The basis of your thinking is determined by the first images you see; whose values are important and whose stories are important, and that's what we're teaching little girls and little boys.
