Oscar season is over, so what does one have to look forward to? Well I had the luck of seeing a troika of girl power-themed movies on the screen that certainly makes the snow melt faster than one can say “global warming is ruining us.”
Luckily there are recent opportunities to watch empowered female characters that have impressed me as much as Lupita Nyong’o‘s powerful Oscar acceptance speech for best supporting actress in “12 Years a Slave.”
I was intrigued by Ana Lily Amirpour’s “A Girl Walks Home Alone” at Night at the recent opening of the 2014 New Directors Film Festival at MoMA in New York.
