Women of the Year: "Mary Magdalene," "Wild Nights with Emily," and Other Untold Stories
Beck, Bernard
Multicultural Perspectives, v21 n3 p148-150 2019
Four movies, "Mary Magdalene," "Wild Nights with Emily," "The Wife," and "Slut in a Good Way," showing women as central characters are discussed. All of the movies have been made primarily by women. At this time, the Me Too movement has called attention to the perspectives of women and their life experiences. In these movies, fully developed characters have replaced common stereotypes, both positive and negative. The contrast between stereotypes and rich descriptions is explored.
