In a half-changed world, women are often forced to choose: Mothering or working? Your children's wellbeing or your own own? Responsibility or self expression? Who Does She Think She Is?, a documentary by Academy Award winning filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll, features five fierce women who refuse to choose. Through their lives, we explore some of the most problematic intersections of our time: mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. Along the way, the film invites us to consider both ancient legacies of women worshipped as cultural muses and more modern times where most people can't even name a handful of female artists. In the end, the diverse women in the film demonstrate that our creativity and our caregiving are not mutually exclusive, but deeply connected. In fact, their co-existence might just be the key to finishing the job.

Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 8/10 by David NohTerrific, engaging and moving documentary about the ongoing conundrum of women in the arts today.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Sheri LindenWith its playfully pointed use of archival clips and with its subjects' striking talents on display, the well-crafted film celebrates courage.
Monsters and Critics - 7/10 by Ron WilkinsonAn unabashed polemic promoting more female artist exhibitions, and art sales, this film is as entertaining as it is one-sided. Inspiring enough that men, too, might be moved to artistry.
Projection Booth - 7/10 by Rob HumanickLittle more than one overly drawn-out act of throat-clearing.
Boxoffice Magazine - 7/10 by John P. McCarthyLively and informative documentary makes an estimable contribution to the field of gender studies by arguing that motherhood and art shouldnâ(TM)t be seen as mutually exclusive.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Ty BurrRather than creating a work of lament or complaint, the filmmakers embark on a series of feel-good profiles of working women artists -- in such places as Providence, Cambridge, and Taos, N.M. -- who also happen to be mothers.
Cleveland Plain Dealer - 5/10 by Julie WashingtonWho Does She Think She Is? is a must-see for anyone of any gender who is trying to mute the naysaying voices and listen to their inner artist.
PopMatters - 5/10 by Cynthia FuchsWho Does She Think She Is? shows the daily chaos facing women artists trying to keep pace with families and ambitions, activist politics and personal choices.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Robert WilonskyBy limiting herself to an actor, a painter, sculptors, and a printmaker, Boll gives herself plenty to work with; when the stories drag, and they occasionally do, the art's there to inspire and uplift.
New York Times - 2/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisWho Does She Think She Is? is an engaging documentary about the struggle to create art while nurturing life.
