Colette (2018)
Taking a turn from the surrealist, action-packed, and depressing films on this list, Colette has a bit more empowerment to offer than the others. Colette is about a struggling young woman who just moved to Paris. To put together some cash, she agrees to ghostwrite her husband’s novel for him. At a point, this novel becomes more of her own than his, and she fights for her own credit during a sexist time in history in a sexist industry. This movie is just as inspiring as it is cinematic, and you will absolutely walk away feeling impressed.
