Movies with Strong Female Leads

1. MAD MAX:FURRY ROAD

⭐️Rate: 9/10

🎬Review: The opening is wild, kicking off with a captivating start. Ithink everything about this movie is perfect: the visuals, the action, the dialogue, the costumes, the acting... it was both beautiful and apocalyptic. I loved how everything felt like a rock 'n' roll fest

I love dystopian movies, but you don't have to be a fan to recognizee how amazing this was. It's a story of survival in a savage wasteland, every scene felt eepic. I liked the cult-like nature and how they glorified their deaths like they were Vikings. Everything was eccentric and crazy, with non stop action for nearly the whole movie.

It's really dystopian and wild, so it's surprising that this was actually a mainstream hit. "Do not become addicted to water" was such a wild statement, lobl.

The premise is very simple; I don't think I can think of a more simplisticwe that worked so well. They drive out into the desert, then make a U-turn back to where they came from. That's it. And it's a blast. This is my favorite action movie, jam-padcked with crazy sequences

The movie is really just one huge dystopian action sequence, so I guess thcould be

that it's all action. If you're looking for something more, you won't findApparently, Mad Max lore has some complex and darker elements, and maybe the upcoming Furiosa will delve deeper into that.

Furiosa was probably the main character; it felt like Mad Max himsself was just tagging along. The villain, Immortan Joe, was great. All the characters are memorable. And because the premise is so simple and the movie is so action-packed, it feels shorter than it actually is. It's just great fun and keeps me glued to the screen. Looking forward to Furiosa: A MMad Max Saga

2. WEDNESDAY, 2022

⭐️Rate: 9/10

🎬Review: So I thought this was going to be God awful like most Netflix adaptations, but I found myself laughing and appreciating the camerawork, the clothes, tthe colors, the acting etc. The way everything is colorful and vibrant while Wednesday is just colorless and unemotional makes Wednesday stick out so much from being so out of place. You almost can feel how much she dislikes almost everything. She's smart, witty, and honestly kind ofscary. Catherine Zeta Jones made me a believer in her from her performance. From sttart to finish this was a easy and fun watch. It almost flew by too fast and now I want more.

3. SELF MADE: INSPIRED BY THE LIFE OF MADAM C.J. WALKER, 2020

⭐️Rate: 7/10

🎬Review: The entertainment value of this series was really good. It kept my attentiand I thought it did a decent job not overly painting Madame CJ Walker as a flawless she-roe. However, it really does a disservice to the historical truth about her story. I gave it a 7 for its rtainment value, but I'm begging you, if you REALLY want to know the truth aboutMadame CJ Walker, who WASN'T the first female self-made millionaire (Annie Malone was - Walker's boss), please READ and not stop at watching this made-for-Netflix series. Revising historyfor entertainment isn't fair to the descendants of these great people. And I'm sure our heroes themselves wouldn't appreciate it either.

4. THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT, 2020

⭐️Rate: 10/10

🎬Review: The Queen's Gambit was a random find for me. I started wwatching it without any expectations but the first episode was just enough to keep me interested. As I kept watchinit kept getting better and I must say the 7th episode was one of the best finale to a series thatave ever watched The character developments for even the minor characters were well-thought-out and immediately formed an emotional connection with most of them.The finale was so well done that it almost felt like an end to a show with several seasonsrather than a limited series. The show also had very good messages sprinkled in between, they were subtle and diedn't make me feel like an agenda was being showed down my throat. The acting was marvelous. The cmatography was great with some very impressive scene transitions. 1The score was amazing and really set the atmosphere and the tone of the show. If you are readingthis before watching the show, go ahead and watch it. You won't be disappointed.

5. BRUISED, 2021

⭐️Rate: 7/10

🎬Review: The real fight is among the pros. The Hollywood pros. While indies comne and go, Oscar-Winner and A-Lister Berry made the unforgivable error of not only directing, but also casting herself, and even choosing a non-traditional topic. For a woman, thatis. Which is why most of the trade reviews talk more about her choices than the film itself.Which is a shame because the film is competent, professional, holds the attention, and has first-rate acting. Ltime I looked, that is what films were supposed to be about?

Do you watch a movie like this? What's your opinion? Let me know in the comments!

... Read moreMovies with strong female leads are not just entertaining; they often highlight important social themes and showcase resilience and empowerment. A prime example is 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' featuring Furiosa, an unforgettable character played by Charlize Theron, who leads a group of women in a rebellion against tyranny in a post-apocalyptic world. This film provides a high-octane experience where action parallels critical themes of survival and rebellion. Another notable entry, 'Wednesday,' reimagines the iconic character from the Addams Family, presenting her as a stylish, smart young woman navigating life at Nevermore Academy. The show successfully balances humor and dark themes, while offering a fresh perspective on femininity and individualism. In 'Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker,' viewers are treated to a dramatized account of an African American woman who built a beauty empire from scratch. While the show captivates with its narrative, it also invites discussions on accurate historical representation and the complexities of female entrepreneurship. 'The Queen’s Gambit' tells the story of Beth Harmon, a chess prodigy whose journey to the top of the male-dominated world of chess tackles issues of addiction and rivalry, while celebrating female empowerment through intellectual prowess. Lastly, 'Bruised,' directed by and starring Halle Berry, follows an MMA fighter aiming to reclaim her life and become a nurturing figure for her son. This film emphasizes the dual struggles of personal growth and professional success in a competitive landscape. These movies not only provide entertainment but also raise awareness of women's issues while celebrating complex female characters who defy stereotypes.

A hand holds the book "Between Women: Love, Envy, and Competition in Women's Friendships" by Luise Eichenbaum and Susie Orbach, which was "AS SEEN ON OPRAH!" and features a New York Times Book Review quote.
A book page titled "Real Friendship Requires Separation + Connection" explains that healthy friendships balance autonomy and emotional closeness, avoiding dependency or sameness, aiming to "Stay connected without losing yourself."
A book page discusses "The 'Merged Identity' Problem," where women are taught "Closeness = sameness," leading to emotional fusion, guilt over personal growth, and fear of betrayal, causing hidden tension and comparison.
Why Female Friendships Secretly Feel Competitive ❤️‍🩹
Most women don’t talk about this… but it’s real. Friendships can be full of love AND quiet competition at the same time. The jealousy, the comparison, the distance… it’s not random. Once you understand it, everything changes. You stop shrinking. You stop feeling guilty for growing. And
