Axe To Grind, Maybe?
I went on to check some of the credits of the women in this film after watching it and I came across a needlessly negative review, so I just wanted to offer my take. I've known actresses (or should I say actors?) in this business as well as casting directors and I hate to say this documentary has it right. It's especially rough for women in this business and I think it's good for people to see smart, articulate women speaking about their experiences. In a way it's hard to compare this to the previous film about male actors because I think this is about so much more. I guess I was bothered by the previous review I read because A) I actually think this is a better produced film than THAT GUY... and B) I think squashing the voices of some pretty impressive women working in this business by telling people not to see this is counterproductive. But that's what opinions are for, I suppose. Anyway, cheers to these women who have found peace and joy in being working actors, who know how lucky they are, even with all the challenges they've faced along the way. I kept thinking of Patricia Arquette at the Oscars while watching this. Did the filmmakers know she was going to give that speech?
Brilliant, honest, heart-breaking yet inspirational documentary on Hollywood
Documentaries on movie stars can be found virtually everywhere. But this doc (as well as its predecessor "THAT GUY...") tells compelling stories about some of those great actors whose names aren't above the title. "THAT GAL..." is a brilliant, honest, heart-breaking yet inspirational look at the intrepid pros whose names may be hard to remember but whose performances are unforgettable. You'll recognize Paget Brewster from the 2015 season of "COMMUNITY" and Roxanne Hart from the legendary sci-fi classic "HIGHLANDER". Roma Maffia was particularly memorable in "DISCLOSURE" as well as the Johnny Depp thriller "OUT OF TIME". And Jayne Atkinson has been a pillar of "HOUSE OF CARDS","CRIMINAL MINDS", as well as "24". What these and the other actors in the documentary illustrate are the often harsh but occasionally glorious realities of the acting business. This is not a puff-piece and it's not a tawdry expose. It's a refreshing peek into what it takes to make it as a professional actor -- namely: passion for the art form to motivate yourself and the grit to endure the tough times. This is a must-see for all aspiring actors as well as for those struggling actors who want to remind themselves that this business is hard for almost everyone but worth it if you can keep going.
An Important Documentary
I really enjoyed That Guy... and was very excited to learn that the filmmakers were giving the ladies of Hollywood their fair shake as well. This is a very well made doc, the women who are interviewed are insightful, funny and excruciatingly self-aware. I think this is an important movie because it's one thing for us to hear well-known female stars talking about inequality in Hollywood when they are making big paychecks and have their names above the titles. But it's a wholly different thing to hear from the women who have been working their butts off in Hollywood and are barely known. If you don't recognize who most of these women are I think it proves the point. They are literally in every thing and have been for a long time. Because they are not Gwyneth or Sandra, Julia or Jennifer doesn't mean they should be invisible. It doesn't make their stories or their work any less valid. The men and women featured in these documentaries are the backbone of the industry and we should be paying more attention to them. Bravo!
About Time The Ladies Get Their Due!
"That Gal" is the sequel to "That Guy Who Was In That Thing", in which known male character actors talked about their careers. Now it's the ladies turn! I really wanna give a little praise to the producers of this film for finally putting the spotlight on to these very talented actresses. I enjoyed the the first film very much, but the in-depth interviews and the inside stories of what it's like to be an actress in the male dominated industry make this second edition much more interesting. The film focus on 8 character actresses who open up about their experiences making it in Hollywood. Every topic is raised; sexism, race, age, and the pressure to stay beautiful and/or thin. And how the choices of doing nudity or having a child can effect the course of these women's career. "That Gal" is not only educational, it's entertaining and quite touching.
A moving documentary
Having seen the first installment (THAT GUY...WHO WAS IN THAT THING) I was looking forward to seeing a female version. This does NOT disappoint. First of all, it looks leaps and bounds better than its predecessor, and just seems more professionally done as a whole. Second, by focusing on just eight actresses, the viewer gets to know them more than the guys in part 1, which felt a bit crowded with sixteen. The film is full of witty anecdotes and interesting facts, but the stories told by Paget Brewster about on-set abuse, and L. Scott Caldwell's account of circumstances that forced her to choose between her career and her son, and her acknowledgment that she may have made a mistake with her choice, were heartrending. This should be required viewing for anyone (of either gender) with acting ambitions, or anyone who works in the industry in any capacity. It is insightful, informative, and touching.
