Instead of standard wishes, we have something concrete for you: 9 film suggestions chosen by the MEGOGO platform. The list was created in collaboration with women from the service’s team, who selected the most interesting stories – from touching dramas to totally outrageous comedies. There is no boredom here, but there is a lot of female 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 delivery room will not disappoint you. Janis (Penélope Cruz) and Ana are at completely different ages and stages of life, but they share a bond stronger than anything else. Beautiful, tender, and very lifelike 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 will see her journey from London's Camden to the heights of the world. A powerful piece, not just for music fans.
3. The Girl in the Fog
Something for fans of darker atmospheres. This is an adaptation of the bestseller by Donato Carrisi, where a teenager disappears 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 puzzles, this crime story will draw you in.
4. Tomorrow Will Be Ours
An Italian hit that performed better than "Barbie" or "Oppenheimer" in local theaters! The story takes place in post-war Rome and tells about the women who were the first to dare to stand up against violence. Despite the difficult subject, the film is full of emotions and has one of the most satisfying endings in recent years.
5. 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 your rights, the character played by Katarzyna Kwiatkowska is the 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 story about how life (and love) can surprise us when we least expect it – for example, on the very day of our birthday.
7. I'm So Beautiful!
Amy Schumer is in her element. Her character hits her head and suddenly starts seeing a goddess in the mirror, even though... nothing has changed. It's a brilliant comedy about how crucial our self-confidence is and how the world changes when we finally start to like ourselves.
8. Barbie
This film had to be included here. Greta Gerwig created something more than a fairy tale about dolls – it is an intelligent and funny story about the contemporary 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
A 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.
