Women aren't going to save the world, despite what this documentary suggests. In fact, no one group of people likely will save it, if anything like "salvation" is even possible. This documentary makes some decent points, such as its critiques of old systems of thought which have held women as essentially property. However, it's not intellectually satisfying (or honest) to just call such a thing "Patriarchy." In fact, some very specific historical events have much to do with oppression of women, such as religion: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. This movie makes practically no criticism of religion, and in fact seems to try to ignore te issue entirely. It instead makes all men out to be oppressors unless women guide them (spoiler alert!). The movie also naively argues that female politicians are good, more caring, etc. Nonsense! Have any of these ladies ever hear of Margaret Thatcher? Also, apparently they've never heard of lousy, terrible, abusive mothers, or women who support war (there's a fair amount of those, actually). In fact, there are even female serial killers (truly, there are more female murderers than you'd ever guess from watching something like this). More simply, this is not really a feminist movie. Feminism is about looking past gender roles and stereotypes. This movie exaggerates existing ones, and attempts to create some new ones while it's at it.

In the world of documentary film making, subject is of the up most importance, and in the case of Femme, the subject is the empowerment of women. A thorough, gripping, and deep subject. The film made me realize that as a society we have helped to bring down the perceived importance of women. Femmme has also helped me to respect my mother and girlfriend even more. This film is a movement, an attempt to transform and heal our society through documentary film making. Sharon Stone and others explore the depth and cultural weight of the empowerment of women through interviews with experts in religion, science, sociology and entertainment.

I thought that film was very inspiring. It gives you hope for the future. After seeing this film I felt empowered. It made me want to do more for my world, my children. I think if everyone watches this film the world would be a better place. In the film you hear from many different women, actors, like Sharon Stone, Maria Bello, feminist activist Gloria Steinmen and others. One of the main messages I got from this film is that women are powerful and nurturing. We have the power to live our lives in a way that promotes peace and prosperity. If you are a woman and want to feel good about yourself, you should watch this film. You will feel empowered to create good in your life and the lives of others.

An inspiring film about the empowerment of females and the feminine nature. Shedding a light on how women naturally will commune together and teach the world about peace and love. Sharon Stone and other worldly experts share their views on how women can help nurture the world towards a brighter future. Definitely filled with empowerment and hope after watching this film. Definitely a good message to see that women and men are coming towards a more equal field. Made me reflect on how the world is unbalanced in favor of men and furthered me notion on how gender relations should be equal. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be educated on making the world a better place for future generations.
