The 25 Best Movies Directed by Women, Ranked
With this week's release of Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit, we’re looking back at the best female-helmed films of the 21st century.
From eye-opening documentaries to political thrillers and romance, a generation of women, including Bigelow, Sofia Coppola, Ava Duvernay and more, have brought viewers rarely-told stories from a unique point of view.
These are the greatest films coming from this talented crop of filmmakers, ranked by Metascore.
DuVernay takes an in-depth look at racial inequality in the U.S. prison system in her second film to make this list. Angela Davis, Newt Gingrich, and Cory Booker are among the public figures interviewed in this Netflix original documentary.
“13th is a titanic statement by a major American voice. Viewing — right now — should be mandatory.” —Joe McGovern, Entertainment Weekly
