This Changes Everything

And I saw the director was a white male. This film is about gender inequality in the TV and movie industry and they couldn't hire a woman to direct this?!

A really decent doc, but like 99% of the reviews here, I'm completely dumbfounded why they hired a MALE to direct this. The epitome of WTF?

The first half of this movie focuses on women characters and lack of representation on screen and all I could think about was all the great female characters and actresses on daytime TV, but sadly, that genre continues to be ignored.

I was so surprised to see that this was directed by a man. It was very disappointing that after tell us to hire more women for an hour and a half, they didn't hire a woman themselves to direct it.

This documentary was really eye-opening and well done. While agree that it would've been great to have a female director, isn't it ALSO powerful that a male is seeking opportunity to give space for female voices? We need both women AND men to speak up and fight for equality. I also really appreciate the call to action at the end. I immediately started looking up female-directed movies that I can see in theaters and support by sharing with others. I'm just disappointed Netflix didn't pop this up on my watchlist much sooner...yet another barrier to tear down- algorithms that fail to suggest female-based content to viewers.

As a woman who is "related" to the industry through my husband's job, I was really interested in watching this documentary. I know that the crews he works on are all male. I know when an episode of a show is being directed by a woman. I know what kind of racism exists in the studios. So at the end of this - I was gutted to see both a male director and DP. Are you kidding me? Are. You. Kidding. Me.
