Letterboxd Showdown: Daughters of the Dust

For Women’s History Month, we’re calling all heartbreak kids, sweeties and she-devils to come up with a list of the ten best under-seen women-directed films. Only movies watched by fewer than 25,000 are eligible—that means no lady birds, no little women, no petites mamans. But it’s more than possible: just take a long walk down that red road, cross Delancey and Hester Street, somersault through Sugar Cane Alley and sure enough you’ll be in the lovely and amazing blazing world of women with brilliant careers. If you’re struggling, no fear, no die: check out these lists from Jack, Annie and UntrueDetective, sort by ‘Film Popularity’ and scroll to the end.

Limited myself to one film per director.
