Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

JustCuriosity Daughters of the Sexual Revolution was very well-received at Austin's SXSW Film Festival. Honestly, I expected a film about the somewhat silly institution of cheerleading and it's connection to football. This film, from the acclaimed director of Murderball, was not at all what the audience was expecting. It had much more depth as it explored the early years (1970s/1980s) of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders at the cultural collision point of the sexual revolution and the feminist movement. The film explores how these women were using their sex appeal, but also behaving in a dignified and respectful manner under the watchful eye of their beloved director, Suzanne Mitchell. The film focused on interviews with former DCC members and Mitchell (who passed away in 2016 not long after the interviews with her for the film). She was a disciplinarian with strict rules while at the same time protective and nurturing environment for these young women in a dangerous environment. The interviews reveal a much more complex picture than one would initially expect. While many may have looked at them as women whose sexuality was being exploited, Mitchell really made sure that they were using their beauty and skills for their own benefit. She helped shape these young women into strong confident independent women. The film is both highly enjoyable and very informative. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a different take on a national institution.
