Godlike (2016)

A film loosely based on the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, with major twists to the original story.

Our protagonists perform as the opposite gender while still preserving the parts of their personalities that makes themselves who they are.

“It's not ghosts. It's not supernatural. It's... It's America. And it's everywhere.”

Passing is a visually stunning portrayal of Larsen's story with an inclusive cast, and the performances of Thompson and Negga are sensational. 

In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is preoccupied with plot and not on the greater struggle of the Osage.
