James C I really liked this documentary in a lot of ways, but I especially liked how it provided a combination of first-person accounts from women involved in the !Womens Art Revolution and forty years of archival footage (I didn't care about the Women's Art Revolution per se, but those examples and narratives made that movement seem so present and alive). Still, the documentary's pacing was inconsistent, and sometimes the viewer had to work too hard to gather some of the content - people who were not familiar with the subject matter did at times. I could feel the passion of the project - so obviously genuine - but again, not all passion translates to clarity. The project could be more significant if it were a fully realized presentation that included other perspectives, a more interesting historical context, and was presented in a sharper way, as it could have changed viewers' opinions rather than providing some basic knowledge. For all the unevenness in interest and the bias limiting the impact of the film, !Women Art Revolution lives the spirit of the movement. It is not always the most interesting way to see history, but it is still an important documentary. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Audience Member A fabulous introduction to a number of female artists that I had never been exposed to. It was a tremendous educational opportunity as well as a great film. I am glad that I had the opportunity to learn. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this film recently and really enjoyed it. It was a shock to recall art that actually related to and responded to what was going on in the world (or at least the US). There isn't a single animal in formaldehyde, or balloon dog in sight. I thought it was a good mix of history, personal narrative, art and the creative process. The documentary has a point of view, but it is well supported by the contribution of all of the artists who appear. I would say that I would like to see this again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Fabulous documentary! It reminded me of what CWILA is concerned with doing for female writers now. For anyone interested in the women's movement, art, performance art, and more, with original stock footage including interviews of artists then and now, this film is fascinating. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Important documentary that chronicles the Feminist Art Movement and how these artists held a mirror up to the culture and politics during the early days of the women's lib era. After watching this movie, I'm interested in studying these women and learn more about their work. I'm ashamed to admit how little I knew about the lack of women artists represented in art museums at that time. I would love the see The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago It is phenomenal! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This enlightening documentary about the feminist art movement has plenty of brains and heart, I only wish it had a little more bite.
