CAPTIONS TANGERINE 2015 MOVIE
I’m giving this warning up front for people who haven’t had the best luck with foreign films: this movie is entirely in Dutch with English subtitles. The Joy Luck Club (1993)Ī film that not only focuses on adult female friendship but also on mother-daughter dynamics? Of course it’s going to make the list! Lindo, Ying-Ying, An-Mei and Suyuan’s friendship just seems so realistic and grounded, and hearing them discuss their own complicated relationships with their daughters will make you want to call up your own mom to tell her that you love her. This movie serves as a really beautiful reminder that, while friendships don’t last forever, the ways our friends change us certainly do. Honestly, It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while, I can’t recommend it enough! Now and Then (1995)įour childhood friends reunite after years apart and reflect on both their shared memories of the summer of1970 and the ways they’ve grown apart since then. This movie is about the way that men undervalue female relationships and the potential consequences that come from that. It may be based on the book Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, but this adaptation is entirely unique, swapping Victorian England for Korea in the 1930s under Japanese rule. But more than anything, this movie looks at the intersections of racism and capitalism, and how violent the combination of the two can be.
Set It Off is an incredibly underrated heist movie about four Black women who decide to start robbing banks after struggling to make ends meet. Maybe you want something with a little more substance. Okay, we’ve gone over a bunch of light-hearted comedies and girl band movies featuring incredible female friendships. The Runaways (2010)īefore the marker of true friendship was “we should start a podcast,” it was “let’s start a band.” Based on the 70s girl band of the same name, The Runaways follows Cherie, Joan, Kim, Jackie and Lita as they go from normal high school girls to genuinely bad-ass rockstars.
It’s just the type of movie that makes you totally forget that the patriarchy exists. But come on! The ABBA soundtrack! The beautiful Greek landscape shown with the saturation turned all the way up! The overalls! The dynamic between Donna, Tanya and Rosie is just so supportive and fun, and is paralleled perfectly by Sophie’s relationship with her own best friends. I said I wouldn’t put Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants on here and then included the second cheesiest and most obvious movie about female friendship. Also, the energy of one best friend being aware of the other’s crazy but being supportive enough to say: “screw it, let’s go to Italy for four days to find your soulmate.” Amazing. They’re just the perfect example of two different people balancing each other perfectly. and Marisa Tomei’s insane on-screen chemistry is Faith’s relationship with her childhood best friend, Kate. But what’s even better than seeing 90s Robert Downey Jr. This movie is technically a rom-com about finding your soulmate and romantic love and all that. The comedy and banter between the two girls alone would have made it make the list, but the underlying themes of going in different directions than childhood friends makes it a ten out of ten.
Booksmart (2019)Īfter realizing that their peers managed to both party and get into Ivy League schools, overachievers Amy and Molly try to save their high school experience by having one crazy night out before graduation. And before you even ask: no, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants is not on here.
CAPTIONS TANGERINE 2015 TV
The solution to that? Immersing myself in movies and TV shows that focus on women! The following movies are some of my all-time favorites, examining the amazing spectrum of relationships women have with one another. Every day in the real world I, like many women I know, am tragically forced to interact with men.
