With the notional 'year' element that came with the #52FilmsByWomen pledge out the window, this is now my 11th batch of 52 films since starting in 2016. This blog covers films watched between Nov 2021-Mar 2022 directed/co-directed by women.
Read about films: 1 – 52, 53 - 104, 105 - 156, 157 - 208, 209 - 260, 261 - 312, 313 - 365, 366 - 417, 418 - 469 and 470 - 521.
Amongst this 52 were three animations (Seder-Masochism, Frozen, Encanto), three documentaries (Framing Britney Spears, Romantic Comedy, Elvis '69), one short (Licking the Star) and one anthology film (XX). Nine were re-visits (in bold below).
Here's my top 10 from the first-time watches:
Passing (2021, Rebecca Hall)
Promising Young Woman (2020, Emerald Fennell)
Zola (2020, Janicza Bravo)
Petite Maman (2021, Céline Sciamma)
