I really believe that every woman is strong and this gender gap in the Hollywood industry bothers me. However, I have been observing the industry and have noticed that Hollywood is coming a step closer to resolve this issue. Women aren't just side-chicks or supporting actresses anymore! I love to binge watch movies on holidays and what better way to make it worthwhile by watching some really inspiring women centric movies with the holiday spirit. Here is a list of my favorite women-centric movies from the past 2-3 years. These movies had been with me over the very challenging time, the most cheerful moment, as well as the really driven momentum. Comment below and let me know about your favorites! #1 Obvious Child (2014)Aspiring comedienne takes her own slices of life to set the stage on fire with her raw and fearless jokes (there’s a description about used underwear that you’ll remember forever). One day, this witty and unapologetic young lady finds out that she's pregnant and must learn how to step into serious adulthood while discovering independence, kindness, love, and well, some more laughs at the reality of life. Jenny Slate totally killed it. Source: Reel Life #2 Frances Ha (2012)This modern delight is shot entirely in black and white. It follows the story of Frances, a young dancer who isn’t really all that good at dancing. She falls out with her best friend, Sophie, when she decides to move to a fancier apartment. This setback takes Frances on a journey from Chinatown to Paris, during which she learns about friendship, ambition, failure, and much more. Her dreaminess and happy oblivion will make you smile.

From innocence to betrayal, she lives through many stages of her incredible journey to power. Her unwavering strength and determination get her past the lows till she’s on top. With a stellar performance, Jennifer Lawrence adds another feather to her cap.

At her 10-year high school reunion, she realises that her life hasn’t changed since graduation while her friends embrace adulthood. She goes into panic when her boyfriend proposes marriage and escapes the situation by befriending a 16-year-old teenager, Annika, and moving into her home for a week. There she meets Annika’s single dad who falls for her innocent charm. Soon, Megan discovers that living while lagging might not be the best thing for her.

Her bout of homesickness and desperation is soon ended by a romantic venture that encompasses her completely. She adapts to her new surroundings quickly but can’t change a past that still lingers. Eventually, it comes down to one choice that will define her life ahead. Source: Motion Pictures Editors Guild #6 Appropriate BehaviorShirin belongs to a traditional Persian family. She is also secretly bisexual. An event marks the beginning of a closeted rebellion that may lead to the discovery of new identities and experiences she seeks. Desiree Akhavan has written and directed this film. She plays the lead role too. Her sharp observations and authentic talent goes beyond words. Source: filmmakermagazine
