Here Are 6 of the Best Female Directed Movies of the Last Decade

It was a hot-button topic this year, specifically when the Oscars left out female nominees from their coveted Best Director category. 

Though the awards have come and gone, we found it fitting to compile a list of the best movies of the 2010s by some amazing female directors.  Keep scrolling to see some of the best female-directed films of the last decade and let us know if you agree by either leaving a reaction at the bottom of the post or by sending us a tweet at @celebsecrets.

 Winter’s Bone (Debra Granik, 2010)

The JLaw led drama captured the essence of the lives of some less than fortunate families in the Ozark Mountains.  This served as our introduction to Jennifer and was one of the buzziest movies of the year.  

Booksmart (Olivia Wilde, 2019)

Everyone was talking about this witty, coming of age film last year.  As Rave Reviews said, “It’s also a testament to the power of female friendship that feels authentic and lived-in.” It was a significant departure for the actress Wilde and we can’t wait to see what she does next!  

Wonder Woman (Patty Jenkins, 2017)

C’mon, how can we not include this killer lady film?  The action-packed film made a huge splash at the box office becoming the 10th highest-grossing film of 2017.  

Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow, 2012)

This Jessica Chastain film beautifully and thrillingly captured the behind the scenes mission and struggle of looking for Osama bin Laden after 9/11.

Hustlers (Lorene Scafaria, 2019)

The buzz was enormous as this film burst onto the scene last year helping Superbowl superstar Jennifer Lopez earn some high profile nominations at the Critics Choice, Screen Actor’s Guild and Golden Globes.  

Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2017)

We love Saoirse Ronan and this movie makes our list for a plethora of reasons.  Not to mention that this same pair joined forces this year for the Best Picture nominee Little Women.  This perfectly concludes our list – as Greta should have earned that best director nomination!
