To celebrate Women’s History Month, the Hollywood Theatre has Feminist March—a series showcasing over a dozen films about women and from women directors, encompassing a slew of genres. Between the screenings and guest presenters, Feminist March is a lot, so before we get to the Mercury’s recommendations, please understand that I want to see everything. (Working woman comedy classic 9 to 5, with Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin? Yes, please! Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, a documentary about the Hollywood movie star who also invented a whole new way to sink Nazi U-boats? Hell yeah! The Gentleman Bank Robber, about Oregon’s butch bank robber who was also a classy bank robber? YES.) So if you see something on Feminist March’s schedule that isn’t mentioned here, rest assured that I recommend it in my heart and will probably see it. I am blonde and cry when women self-actualize onscreen. See you there.
