Let's be realistic.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This amazing documentary about the women's fight for their independence and for the reproductive rights it is a great learning about the history of feminism movement and of his implications in the current society. Using statements, videos and photos, the doc. shows to his public how have emerged the feminists organizations in the patriarchal society from 1960's. Essential questions, even in the current days, are presented in the historical and social context with seriousness and emotion by the documentary, starting from the most important point of view, of the women who fought for their rights in a time when do not there was any right for this group. Images of speeches and memorable protests builds a scenario of the reality lived for the women in the 60's decade and the courage, brilliance and intelligence of the first feminist group in the USA. Exploring the differences between the many kinds of movements existing in a fight so multiple, the Mary Dore's job explores the fundamental flags of the feminism, like the body rights, the abortion question, the financial equality and equal opportunities, the black feminism and the women's history. All of this presented dynamically, without become tiresome. The documentary brings a hope from a world more egalitarian and more free for the personal decisions, mainly for the women, in a decade where their rights are threatened around the world.

I'm not a feminist in the modern sense, but as a lover of history I really enjoyed this documentary. Such wonderful stories about the origins of the feminist movement in the US.I find it interesting how random groups of women worked together for change and achieved it. I loved how it showed the movement as divided and no a single idea, but various conflicting groups of women who never gave up.At no point did I feel like someone was pushing an agenda or opinion or trying to convince me of anything, it was just people sharing stories.Western women today owe so much to these women and they probably don't even realize it. The last 5 minutes got boring for me, but I guess its relevant as a call to arms for women.Very well made film, I can't find much fault with it.

She's Beautiful When She's Angry (2014) was directed by Mary Dore.This is an important documentary movie, because it concerns itself with the feminist movement in the U.S. in the late 1960's and into the 1970's. I lived through this period, so I was familiar with much of the material portrayed. However, today, 40 years later, many people may not realize that what we take for granted had to be fought for meeting by meeting, petition by petition, publication by publication, and demonstration by demonstration. This is an important lesson, especially for people who take what the feminists accomplished for granted. The film has several premises, and I agree with all of them. One is that women's rights were won by struggle, not given. Another is that you never "win" the battle for any civil rights, including rights for women. Everything you win can be taken away or pushed back, so the struggle has to continue today and, sadly, always.Another important historical point is that feminists didn't speak with one unified voice. As within any movement, there were disagreements and hostilities. Many of the women who had high profiles in the feminist movement were White and relatively privileged. What about poor women? What about women of color? Women of color had to fight two battles--to be recognized as equal to men, and recognized as equal to White women.Even in the discussion after the movie, some people felt that the comments made by other people denigrated their own work. It's hard to achieve your goals, and to keep a movement unified, or at least not totally fragmented.It was interesting to hear interviews with high-profile feminists like Susan Brownmiller and Kate Millett, but the interviews with lesser-known feminists were fascinating as well.The documentary footage was well chosen and illustrated the topics discussed by the women being interviewed. Production quality was high.This movie is worth seeing, and I recommend it. We saw it on the large screen at the excellent Little Theatre in Rochester, NY. However, it will work very well on DVD.

This is a wonderful, exciting new film about the women's movement in the sixties. This film brought back the fight for women's equality through important historic film clips and interviews and music. Much of these events took place more than 50 years ago and the film shows many of the women then and now. The current interviews and takes on the movement are as compelling as the originals. This is a film that should not be missed, especially if you missed it (the movement) the first time around. The film focuses mainly on how this grass roots movement started by small groups of women and quickly spread throughout the country and to all ages and social groups. There was a section on how "our Bodies, Our Selves" came about.
