20January31: The FF2 Week in Review by Jan Lisa Huttner

From Jan Lisa Huttner (Editor-in-Chief of FF2 Media)

Five films either written or directed by women filmmakers opened in Manhattan theaters this week:

• The Assistant
• Gul Makai
• Miss Americana
• The Rhythm Section
• The Traitor

Of these five, so far I’ve seen two. One — Miss Americana — is a doc. Four — The Assistant, Gul Makai, The Rhythm Section, The Traitor — are narrative features.

My Top Pick for July 12th (drumroll please!) is The Assistant, a film about the trials and tribulations of being an office assistant.
