Instead of standard wishes, we have something specific for you: 9 movie recommendations selected by the MEGOGO platform. The list was created in collaboration with women from the service team, who chose the most interesting stories – from touching dramas to completely out-there comedies. There's no boredom here, just a lot of feminine energy!
1. Parallel Mothers
This is a proposal from master Almodóvar. If you enjoy cinema that plays on emotions, the story of two single women who meet in the maternity ward will not disappoint. Janis (Penélope Cruz) and Ana are at very different ages and stages in life, but they share a bond stronger than anything else. Beautiful, tender, and very relatable cinema.
2. Back to Black. The Story of Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse needs no introduction. This film is a tribute to her incredible talent, but also an uncompromising look at how destructive fame can be. You'll see her journey from London's Camden to global heights. A powerful piece, not just for music fans.
3. Girl in the Fog
Something for fans of darker atmospheres. This is the adaptation of the bestseller by Donato Carrisi, where a teenager goes missing in a small mountain town. Instead of quick chases, we have a dense atmosphere, media manipulation, and a fantastic performance by Jean Reno. If you enjoy mysteries, this crime thriller will draw you in.
4. Tomorrow Will Be Ours
An Italian hit that outperformed "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in cinemas there! The action takes place in post-war Rome and tells the story of women who were the first to dare to stand up to violence. Despite the difficult subject, the film is full of emotion and has one of the most satisfying endings in recent years.
5. International Women's Day
Polish accent on the list and the debut of Maria Sadowska. This is a story inspired by true events about a woman who challenges a large corporation. If you're looking for inspiration to fight for what’s yours, the character played by Katarzyna Kwiatkowska is a perfect example of strength and independence.
6. What a woman wishes for
Sharon Stone as a fashion designer, who despite her professional success, still can’t find the one. It’s a light yet wise tale about how life (and love) can surprise us at the least expected moment – for example, exactly on our birthday.
7. I’m so beautiful!
Amy Schumer in her element. Her character hits her head and suddenly begins to see a goddess in the mirror, even though... nothing has changed. It's a brilliant comedy about how important our self-confidence is and how the world changes when we finally start to like ourselves.
8. Barbie
This film had to be here. Greta Gerwig has created something more than just a fairytale about dolls – it's an intelligent and funny tale about the modern world. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are simply brilliant in this duo. If you haven't seen it yet, International Women's Day is the perfect occasion.
9. Sex and the City
Classic of the genre. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda are back to show that friendship is the most important thing under the sun. New York, fashion, and romantic dilemmas – it's always a good choice for a night in with the girls.
