I wished that instead of just sitting around a table and discussing their gender as well as eating lunch. Which I kind of admit was amusing. These character actresses should had been explored more than their male counterparts.

Like in their personal lives and also in the fact, of how they are managing to get to Hollywood. Being a leading man and woman you get all the roles.

But being a character actor or actress, you get the lines and all of that. Plus it is an everyday struggle unlike their leading man or lady counterparts that get the best roles their way.

Like one of the posters, there should had been more actresses like Patricia Clarkson, that should had been on there. Oh well!

Im giving this a "5" for the way it was produced, assembled and edited on a technical level within the confines of a documentary. The actual content/message is a complete joke. Is there anyone with minimal intelligence who's not aware of how tough the entertainment business is? Free-will is a bitch! You would think the women interviewed in this documentary were immune. The average woman in the USA earns $15K a year, after 30 years thats $450,000. An A-list actress makes 20 times that for 8 weeks work. This crockudrama' features bitter C-list bit-players moaning about this and that, when they should be thankful they still had many gigs without resorting to giving BJ's to execs. Looks? Yep! You betcha', I don't wish to pay $12 to see a fat hag, I wanna see beautiful women, because they are the freaks of nature, not the norm. Beauty, like entertainment is usually successful because its bigger than life isn't it? Why should Paramount forfeit profits to appease the unattractive? Its an open market. Berklee College of Music, a world renowned school of music, and the only school of music that aims most of its agenda/curriculum within the entertainment business, only produces graduates in which 3% find employment. This isn't new news folks, its cliché and has been for decades ( see "All About Eve"). Of course women are used less; movies are more about life and the MALE dynamic, his physical strength, his professions, his dominance, and his criminality. This may change by the next century, but that's the way it is NOW. Who does not know this? Answer: Apparently the women in this pointless film. Genetically, women are more in need of self-assurance, acceptance, and self esteem than men, this is why you are more upset when you are rejected: You have more to prove, so the distance of your fall is greater in your mind. I do agree with the women in this film on one point and that is their assertion of the male assholes presence within their profession. ( again, not exclusive to the film industry: see Mad Men) But, they are also assholes to the man as well, just in different ways. Not one of the women in this documentary has created a noteworthy role on the level of say: Olivia de Havilland, Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, Ida Lupino, Bette Davis, Hillary Swank, etal. None of them are beauties but earned respect and built great careers. But I do want to close with this:All of the award shows ( and there are 75 of them) award the same amount to women as they do the men.

All women have completely different experiences, different personalities, and different expectations. We do not share any common identity, so stop trying to force one on us. Thsi moaning and complaining is old and tired. No oen deserves to be giuvena break because of their gender, and you should expect fierce competition for coveted roles. In fact, this whole thing is alie as we well know in Hollywood it on ly matters who you are related to, nothing else. Its alm ost like Medieval Europe, or India with a caste system, and anyone that has an original thought, or harbors an outsider is quickly ban ished. Why do you think alkkl m ovies and TV shiows these days are such a complete bore?
