Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart, who is known for her bold personality, opened up about how Hollywood does the bare minimum to support female directors except a few.
In an interview with Porter magazine, Stewart said that Hollywood does the bare minimum regarding supporting female filmmakers except for four persons. Stewart said, “[There’s a] thinking that we can check these little boxes, and then do away with the patriarchy, and how we’re all made of it.”
The Twilight actress continued, “It’s easy for them to be like, ‘Look what we’re doing. We’re making Maggie Gyllenhaal’s movie! We’re making Margot Robbie’s movie!’ And you’re like, OK, cool. You’ve chosen four.” Kristen Stewart explained, “And I’m in awe of those women; I love those women [but] it feels phony. If we’re congratulating each other for broadening perspective, when we haven’t really done enough, then we stop broadening.”
Kristen Stewart’s remarks might stem from her struggle to finance The Chronology of Water, with which she has been associated since 2018 and has been vocal about it.
She also compared the current gender discrimination to the past and concluded that currently, things are more passive-aggressive, whereas previously, it was just straight up. On the work front, Kristen Stewart will be seen in ‘Love Me’ this year alongside Steven Yeun.
