| Your Netflix Guide To The Best Women’s History Month Movies - Refinery29 Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:00 AM PST  To be it, you must see it — which is why it's vital for young girls everywhere to see smart, nuanced portrayals of women in film. Not every woman needs to be Brie Larson-as-Captain Marvel level of tough to be considered a "strong woman character." Sure, the superheroines of the world are breaking barriers (and occasionally box office records) but they're not the only ladies on camera worth celebrating. What we should get excited about are all kinds of movies where women lead their stories, have agency, and, per the Bechdel test, talk about something other than a guy. Women's History Month celebrates achievements of women, while also reminding the world that gender parity is the ultimate goal. In the film industry, women are making incredible strides, both in front of and behind the camera. (Even though many women are still unfairly shut out of the Best Director category at the Oscars.) Women filmmakers are using their platform to tell women's stories, through narrative work — some of which is based on real-life stories of extraordinary women — as well as in documentaries. ADVERTISEMENT Just as every woman has a unique perspective on the world, so do the films that really celebrate women. Are rom coms your speed? How about thought-provoking documentaries, or horror films where the women run towards the danger rather than away from it? What about a documentary on the leading ladies in pop, or one about women running for office in the often male-dominated field of American politics? Thanks to Netflix, these films are easily available — which means you can celebrate Women's History Month without leaving your sofa. Here are just some women-celebrating movies to throw on your queue. ADVERTISEMENT Wine Country(2019)Amy Poehler directed this comedy, about a group of women who head to wine country to celebrate one of their friend's 50th birthdays. It features some of your favorite comedians, like Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, and Tina Fey. Watch on Netflix Someone Great(2019)Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's follow-up to her MTV series Sweet/Vicious — a dramedy about two college campus vigilantes who take down students who commit sexual assault — tells the story of a woman (Gina Rodriguez) who just broke up with her longtime boyfriend (Lakeith Stanfield) in order to pursue her dream job in San Francisco. One last wild night in New York City with her best friends (DeWanda Wise and Brittany Snow) helps her find herself again. Watch on Netflix To All The Boys I've Loved Before(2018)Based on Jenny Han's novel of the same name, directed by Susan Johnson and written by Sofia Alvarez, To All The Boys is a romantic comedy about what happens when the love letters penned by dreamer Lara Jean (Lana Condor) get mailed to all the crushes she's had over the years. Yes, there's a love story — and who doesn't swoon over Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) — but ultimately it's a movie about a young woman deciding to stop fantasizing and start going after what she really wants. Watch on Netflix Always Be My Maybe(2018)Nahnatchka Khan — aka the brilliant mind behind Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23 — directed this romantic comedy, in which Ali Wong plays an ambitious chef who falls for her less-than-ambitious childhood friend, played by Randall Park. If the sweet love story isn't enough, there's also Keanu Reeves playing Keanu Reeves to look forward to. Watch on Netflix ADVERTISEMENT Dumplin'(2018)Directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Kristin Hahn, this adaptation of Julie Murphy's novel follows a teenager as she bucks the conventions of her local beauty pageant.

When his widow returned the film to Tan decades later, she made a documentary out of the experience using the old footage — and a new version of Shirkers was born. Watch on Netflix Bird Box(2018)Watch on Netflix To The Bone(2017)Sharp Objects creator Marti Noxon based To the Bone on her own battle with eating disorders and is a thoughtful examination of an often misunderstood illness. It follows Ellen (Lily Collins), who has anorexia, as she enters an inpatient program and grapples with her future.Watch on Netflix Audrie & Daisy(2016)Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk's documentary examines the sexual assault cases of Daisy Coleman and Audrie Pott, the latter of whom died by suicide following intense cyberbullying after reporting her rape.

| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 01:18 PM PST  Just over a year after UCLA gymnastics made headlines thanks to Katelyn Ohashi's viral routine, a Beyoncé-inspired performance by junior Nia Dennis has put the program is back in the spotlight. On Thursday, the UCLA gymnastics Twitter account tweeted out a clip of Dennis's routine from a competition last weekend that has since racked up over 9 million views. The floor choreography was set to a medley of Beyoncé's biggest hits, including "Crazy in Love" and a throwback to Destiny's Child's "Lose My Breath." SEE ALSO: Teen becomes first female wrestler to win state championship The 21-year-old punctuated her nearly perfect performance by mimicking the placing of a crown atop her head, a fitting homage to Queen Bey. UCLA tweeted that Dennis earned a 9.975 for the powerful routine. Her teammate, senior Grace Glenn, made history of her own with a perfect 10 on beam, which had never before been accomplished by an NCAA gymnast in the beam's leadoff position. Dennis posted a shout-out to her teammates on Instagram back in January, saying she "wouldn't want any other group of women" behind her. On Monday, she posted a photo of herself and Glenn embracing that was seemingly taken after their historic routines last weekend.  |
