film directed by men that are truthful and insightful to the female experience, comment suggestions!
to quote Daria
"The number of men who don't even question their own qualifications to assert what belongs on this list... wow.
And then, the ones who say that maybe they aren't qualified but then offer their opinion on it anyway.

films not added:
-midsommar (not on here due to the story behind why it was written. Ari Aster wrote this about an ex-girlfriend who Jack Reyner portrays, even though he is a man. there is rape at the end and the female lead character laughs. she is based on a man and has female truths, but it is not a true female character)
-all about my mother (due to the treatment of trans women. first scene of a trans woman is her being attacked..)
-bombshell (OBVIOUSLY)
-the neon demon (not the best portrayal of female on female relationships)
films I added people are upset about
-amelie (don't really understand why??)
-ex machina (completely true to the female experience, one of my favorite movies. the scene where she puts on her skin and moves her hair over the shoulder is the moment I knew I loved movies about women. will not be apologizing for this one)
