Come FLYING With Me

FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMANOne of my favorite films of last year is here in ! FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMAN sparked several of my articles, including New Feminism, Or Fuck Patriarchy and an indieWIRE column, Flying: Confessions in International Co-Production.

I got to have lunch with Jennifer today and chatting with her reminded me of all the things I loved about this work–that it shows women as we are, the storytelling mirrors our way of communicating to one another, and it left me feeling solidarity with women around the world. Our experiences are so similar even when they run a spectrum; it’s not tough to identify with the women in Fox’s film. But it is also fun, sexy and soapy. If seeing the whole thing seems a bit daunting, come to the Ritz on Wednesday for the last two episodes. I guarantee you’ll want to go back and see the rest when it comes out on DVD, which according to Jennifer is very soon. All the details on the Austin screenings here.
