There are no new movies opening in wide release in the US today that are written or directed by women, and none about women. In limited release, Juliette Binoche, Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, and Alia Shawkat are looking for love, with varying degrees of success.

There are no movies directed by or written by women opening in the UK this week. And there’s only one about a woman… though the representation of its female protagonist is superb and insightful.
