Swept Away... by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August (1974) Eileen Bresnahan, Kate Sharp, Terra, and Woodwoman This film is nothing less than anti-woman. That the director and producer was a woman is irrelevant.

Stand Up and Be Counted (1972) Anne Bennett For all its faults, I think you will leave feeling excited and happy. Even knowing that I was being co-opted, I loved seeing women being "together."

Hurry Tomorrow (1975) Jenny Miller Moments of caring between inmates and their flashes of rebellion against a system set up to strip them of all humanity gives the viewer a renewed sense of the possibilities of resistance.

Harlan County, U.S.A. (1976) Marquitta Mayes Barbara Kopple, producer-director... got into the meat of her subject right off the bat, and still was very careful to give her audience a taste of every aspect of the Harlan County miners and their families.

The Incredible Sarah (1976) Gayle Novack The fact that Readers Digest was the executive producer for the film is a clue to its snail-paced mediocrity.

A Woman Like Eve (1979) Karen Franklin Despite its sentimentality, A Woman Like Eve is a thoughtful, sensitive and accurate film about a subject which is almost invariably mistreated.

Personal Best (1982) Janet Singleton How this film sees a woman's body is, for American cinema, revolutionary.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) Vicki McConnell (Gingerlox) From start to finish in this film, [Keaton] is not only a lost woman, but a soulless one, confused and warped by a hopeless reality with no escape options.
