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.
David Oyelowo embodies the late Martin Luther King, Jr. in this Oscar-winning historical drama about the voting rights marches from Selma to Montgomery. Tom Wilkinson, Carmen Ejogo, and Common also star in DuVernay’s film.
“DuVernay has done a great service with Selma. Not only has she made one of the most powerful films of the year, she's given us a necessary reminder of what King did for this country...and how much is left to be done.” —Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
