7 short stories ranging from all different backgrounds and ages of women, some very profound ones based on true stories. Addressing topics of mental health, addiction, prison, what it's like to be a mother, poverty, family issues, homelessness, suicidality, outstanding female doctors who go above and beyond, women helping women escape from domestic violence, the pressure of societal beauty standards, embodying your true self, the trans experience, and many more. Yes, there should be trigger warnings. If you cannot stomach seeing what we go through, don't watch it. If you can, look at it from our point of shoes for a moment. We all have issues, that is the only thing that's universal. I think people don't understand the point of this film is what you take from it. It's in the bloody title. Tell it like a woman. Watch how we write women, how we feel as women, what we deal with as women, how society treats us as women, how we heal as women, how we show compassion as women, how we self sacrifice as women, how we come together as women, how we change the world as women, how we see the world as women. There are so many movies that portray women in poorly written, poorly filmed, one sided ways. This is not that. These women are complex, well rounded, they evolve and learn and change. And honestly the people who write these negative views, in my opinion, lack depth.
