Woman to Woman
(1986)
|
Gloria Woman
|
Woman to Woman is a film that not only shows women taking their power, it also pays tribute to women who dig on what they're doing and do it well.

In The Best Interests of The Children is a moving, remarkable film.

Sandy and Madeleine's Family
(1973)
|
Joan Rydbeck
|
The children of Sandy and Madeleine are happy, and Sandy and Madeleine love each other. These facts are indisputably clear, and this film needs only 30 minutes to prove it, even to the most hardened skeptic.

Cage Without a Key
(1975)
|
Ann Ominous
|
Cage Without a Key was written from a consciousness that never heard of the women's movement.

Battle of the Amazons
(1973)
|
Joey and Sue
|
The only thing that was worse than the acting and the story itself was the music and the sound effects.

That Certain Summer
(1972)
|
Diane Trzcinski
|
This movie explored its subject with sensitivity and honesty.

John's Wife
(1973)
|
Gloria Woman
|
This film, intentionally or unintentionally, gives support to the male-identified attitudes that have been entrenched in film for years -- while masquerading as a film about a woman's liberation.

Attica
(1974)
|
Gloria Woman
|
Attica, a 1974 documentary by Cinda Firestone, is an incredibly powerful document. When you consider that it is Ms. Firestone's first film, it is still more amazing.

Underground
(1976)
|
Amber Moregan
|
Underground could have been a strong statement about the lives of revolutionary women, and men, who, as underground activists, represent one of the many fronts of our struggle... But it doesn't. I nonetheless recommend the film.

This film left me feeling ambivalent.

A Question of Love
(1978)
|

The drama would have been greatly enhanced had Rowlands and Alexander reversed roles.

Closely observed The Turning Point presents an interesting set of alternatives.

Julia
(1977)
|
Becky Bailin
|
In Lillian, Julia shows us the first woman in memory sexually coupled and on par with her lover, intellectually, creatively and morally.

A Different Story
(1978)
|
Bridget Overton
|
Touted as a different kind of love story, namely a romance between a lesbian and a gay man, the film is not that at all. It's the same old tired hetero romantic scenario with a twist.

Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives
(1977)
|
Bridget Overton
|
The film makers let the 26 individuals be themselves and in so doing they paint a realistic picture of what it means to be gay within this society.

One Sings, the Other Doesn't
(1977)
|
Becky Bailin
|
I found the film unrelentingly vacuous, almost devoid of insight and structured so sloppily as to be embarrassing.

Hardcore
(1979)
|
Robin Tyler
|
The Motion Picture Industry has exploited women for so many years, in so many ways, that it is hard to think that they can ever top themselves. Well, they have finally reached the bottom of their sewers. It's a movie called Hardcore.

Mahogany
(1975)
|
Rita A. Goldberger
|
[Ross's] strong, witty, determined character is so real that her sudden about-face in the last few minutes does not ring true... [It's] as if the director or writer couldn't stand the thought of her being rich, successful, and happy,

The Laughing Policeman
(1973)
|
Joanie Millard
|
[The Laughing Policeman is] one of the most outrageous, humorless exposes on violence and homosexuality ever produced. Not to mention the fact that it was so poorly edited one could not understand the last third of the picture.

Cleopatra Jones
(1973)
|
Jeanne Córdova
|
Take your $3.00 and go buy some sticks and poster board and stand outside and picket. That's the only potentially feminist contribution of Cleopatra Jones.
