Feminist Film Criticism is an approach that analyzes films through the lens of feminist theory. It examines how gender representations, particularly of women, influence societal perceptions and power dynamics. This criticism often highlights the portrayal of female characters, the roles they play, and the narratives that shape their experiences in cinema. Additionally, Feminist Film Criticism critiques the male gaze, a concept introduced by Laura Mulvey, which describes how visual arts often depict women from a masculine perspective. By challenging these traditional portrayals, feminist critics aim to promote more equitable and diverse representations of gender in film.
