[quote=Anonymous]More female empowerment movies vs rom com

My teen daughter and I loved:

Polite Society is a 2023 British martial arts action comedy film written and directed by Nida Manzoor (in her feature film directorial debut). The film follows teenager Ria Khan, who struggles to save her older sister, Lena, after she decides to give up on her dreams and get married.

Moxie (stylized as MOXiE!) is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed by Amy Poehler. The film focuses on 16-year-old Vivian (played by Hadley Robinson), who starts a feminist zine to empower the young women in her high school, as they contend with bullying, sexual harassment, and rape.

India Sweets and Spices is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed and written by Geeta Malik.

Synopsis
Alia Kapur comes home from UCLA to her upper class neighborhood in suburban New Jersey for summer vacation. Back in her Ruby Hill community of Indian-Americans, Alia deals with her family's drama while meeting Varun, an Indian-American man from a much poorer background than her own. They begin to see each other secretly, but it turns out that their mothers have a history Alia never knew about.

Also loved the Fire of Love.  A 2022 independent documentary film about the lives and careers of volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft.
Synopsis
The film tells the story of French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft, a daring couple bound by their love for each other and their shared obsession with volcanoes. Through rare archival footage and a poetic French New Wave-inspired narrative, the film chronicles their two-decade journey of capturing the Earth’s most explosive phenomena, standing perilously close to fiery eruptions in their quest for scientific discovery and breathtaking imagery. As their passion pushes the boundaries of safety, the documentary explores the philosophical and emotional depths of their commitment to understanding the planet’s volatile beauty, culminating in their tragic final expedition to Mount Unzen in 1991, where their lives are claimed by the force they so deeply revered.
