![]() ![]() This Changes Everything (which shouldn’t be confused with Naomi Klein’s documentary from 2015) isn’t keen on reminding people that women in Hollywood are paid significantly less than their male counterparts – both in front of and behind the camera – nor doesn’t it particularly want to focus solely on the fact that most studio pictures and awards bait are produced by men or how 77% of the critics and tastemakers on Rotten Tomatoes are men. Since the advent of sound in film, it has been exponentially more difficult to make a go of things as a woman in Hollywood (and also elsewhere in the world), and This Changes Everything doesn’t make many suggestions on how to make amends, but it offers up a great deal of irrefutable evidence to suggest that the more people say things are getting better, the more they stay the same. Boasting a wide array of A-list movie stars and behind-the-scenes power players who are willing to talk about gender disparity, discrimination, and sexual harassment in Hollywood, the documentary This Changes Everything comes at a perfect time to make an impact, but if you already know how difficult it is to be a woman in a male dominated industry, director Tom Donahue’s impassioned work won’t offer up much of anything you didn’t already suspect.
