" The film does a dandy job of illustrating how women can get genuinely frustrated in a human relationship — even when they care the guy . "
While some films can depict “female rage” in a superficial and stereotypical way, there are some movies that authentically knock it out of the park.
So, when I saw Reddit useru/MyPrimordialSoupaskther/AskWomencommunity: “What is one film you think depicts female anger accurately?” I had to share the answers. Here’s a small list below.
1.“Gone Girl. Specifically the ‘cool girl’ monologue.”

" The total stamp was phenomenal!Set It offwas the film that first made me lessen in love with Queen Latifah ’s piece of work .

She brings it to everything she does in her career , but she has a balance of free grace that has root on me since puerility . "

14.“Not quite rage per se, but in the scene inPrincess Kaguya(a Ghibli film). After a man dies in pursuit of her hand in marriage, she breaks everything around her and runs back to her hometown in a streak of destruction across the countryside. The film is animated, and this scene is drawn with mostly strokes of thick black charcoal, and it really shows the raw emotion of anger, sorrow, and frustration. The whole scene felt like a very realistic reaction as well as an accurate portrayal of the anger inside of women.”

She’s a calm, cool, and collected, competent female professional with a perfect amount of righteous indignation at the inhumane callousness of her corporate handlers, and that epic ‘get away from her, you bitch!’ mama bear instinct will always stand out to me.”
