I can't tell you the number of times I have been told to smile. Bet every other woman has had the same experience. STOP. FUCKING. TELLING. WOMEN. HOW. TO. ACT. It's so boring and pathetic.
Hard no to this film.
Yes. That's what I meant.
Not great. WNBA going that way too. It's literally what happened in women's college basketball. When money comes in, women move out.
How many women coaches are left in the league?
It kind of feels like we are back in the 1990s.

So far two movies today directed by women that deal with therapy and motherhood. If I Had Legs, I’d kick you and A Private Life. Rose Byrne goes THERE intensely in the first. What a performance. Jodie Foster shines in ways we haven’t seen her in years in the second. #tiff50

Coming next is this. Looks stellar.
