Perhaps you can imagine my rage when I saw this…

Zosia Mamet, Kristin Scott Thomas, Patricia Clarkson, Maika Monroe, Ellen Burstyn, and Catherine Keener are all starring in new movies this week… but good luck finding them on a screen near you.

Saoirse Ronan has a difficult senior year in high school, Sally Hawkins falls in love with a monster, and Lupita Nyong’o is the conscience of a male hero (and her whole nation)…

Lots of movies to chose from, but most are playing on only a very few screens.

Dakota Johnson and Maryana Spivak find themselves in horrible marriages; screenwriter Dorothy Blyskal tells the tale of three heroic young men.

Gina Carano kicks ass, Helen Mirren placates ghosts, and Daniela Vega fights for basic human dignity.

Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville, and Helen Mirren are dealing with men’s crap in the corporeal and the spiritual worlds.

Two tiny releases — both about women but both written and directed by men — are all that’s new on offer this week for anyone looking for women’s stories.

Two foreign-language films, each playing on only a single screen in London: that’s it for movies by or about women this week.
