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.
The second film on this list from the Canadian actress turned director is a very personal documentary which explores Polley's family secrets and reveals a bombshell about her parents.
“Polley’s fearless personal journey is a huge achievement, a genuine revelation — but the less detail you know beforehand, the better. Go in cold, come out warmed.” —Dan Jolin, Empire
