This Netflix Documentary follows four women attempting to tip the balance of power on the 2018 US midterm election campaign trail. You’ll watch as each first-time congress-hopeful goes up against their district’s powerful incumbents, using grassroots methods to mobilize their bases and engage with voters. Spoiler: at least one of the film’s subjects was wildly successful in her mission to launch a movement. You’ll recognize Bronx-born Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the millennial congresswoman famed for her red lips, hoop earrings and passion for the planet, from the trailer. “If I was a rational person, I would’ve dropped out of this race a long time ago,” she says in the clip. “Americans aren’t asking for a lot, they’re just asking for politicians to help them get by.” Sounds about right.
Female squad coms have become a trend as of late — not that we’re complaining. In Wine Country, a group of longtime girlfriends reunite to celebrate a 50th birthday, sip on white wine, revisit their history and question their future. There’s a workaholic (Ana Gasteyer), a worn-out mother (Maya Rudolph), a homebody (Emily Spivey) and an itinerary master who has planned every activity down to the millisecond, played by the film’s director, Amy Poehler. “The movie’s not about ladies who can’t act their age,” Poehler told Vanity Fair. “A man’s ‘midlife crisis’ is: gets a fancy car, fucks somebody too young for him, has a crazy weekend, and realizes what he’s got. I don’t even know what the female version of that is.”
Like many movie stars before her, Renée Zellweger has partnered with Netflix to make a not-so-bold move to the small screen. In What/If, a neo-noir thriller series that examines “what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things,” Zellweger plays a powerful and mysterious female benefactor who offers a lucrative but morally suspect deal to a cash-strapped couple. What/If is executive produced by showrunner Mike Kelley, creator of the ABC prime time soap opera-esque series Revenge, so I’m sure we can expect to be served a healthy dose of murder, sex and scandal.
