<p>Only narrative, non-documentary films running 1 hour+ are listed.<br />Films must feature either: A) An explicitly queer, female-identifying protagonist. B) At least two secondary queer female protagonists whose screen time matches or exceeds that of the protagonist. C) In cases of large, ensemble casts, 50% of characters/content must be queer with 50% of that queer content being female.<br />WLW characters must be explicitly, unavoidably queer. Subtext and undertones are for cowards.<br />Bisexual characters and narratives are represented provided that the attraction to women aspect is unavoidable, inarguable and not limited to a singular scene.<br />Polyamorous relationships are represented provided there is romantic/sexual content between two women in said relationship.<br />Wholly pornographic films are not represented.</p>

<p>quite frankly, sapphic films directed by women just hit differently. it’s not only about seeing women love women on screen, it’s about the care, intimacy, and details only women can capture. free from the male gaze, these stories aren’t twisted into fantasies or turned into spectacle, they feel real and lived-in. this is my collection of those films, stories told by women, for women, and anyone who wants to feel it. i’m not saying there aren’t good sapphic films directed by men, there are, but there’s something about a woman behind the camera that understands it on a deeper level.</p><p>i’ve spent hours putting together this list of movies i’ve grown up with, revisited over the years, or reviewed recently. some are absolute favorites, others just okay, but every single one is directed by women.</p><p>let me know if there’s a film i’m missing that you’d like me to add :)</p>

<p>A personal collection of sapphic-centered coming-of-age films <b><i>I have seen.</i></b><br />~~~<br />Coming-of-age films take many forms. They can be traditional in the sense that they follow a specific tone, pace, feel, and aesthetic. They talk about young characters experiencing major life changes in which comedy and romance are blended into the drama.</p><p>Aside from these, there are alternatives that can be outside of the more traditional look and feel. These are films that masterfully blend elements of other genres, such as action or horror, with trademarks from the genre.</p><p>They can be any genre, any tone, and any style, as long as they depict a character maturing.<br />~~~<br /><i>[This is just a compilation list of the films I have seen, not a recommendation list.]</i></p>

Tearjerkers
I made this list to remind me before watching or rewatching so I can prepare myself. Some provoke happy tears but I still want to know ahead of time. I hate crying. It causes headaches and stuffy noses.

<p>Must have a woman as its:<br />☑️ lead, co-lead, or subject;<br />☑️ director or co-director; <i><b>and</b></i><br />☑️ writer or co-writer (screenplay, story, or source material).</p><p>If you happen to find the comments open and notice there’s anything missing <i><b>that fits the criteria above</b></i>—particularly non-American films—feel free to let me know. I get a lot of notifications on this list so I seldom reply, but if your suggestion belongs here I’ll add it.</p><p>This list is curated to invite reflection upon women’s perceptions and depictions of themselves and/or other women as they are presented through the medium of cinema, as films made by <i>and</i> about women are among the minority worldwide. For those interested, stats and research into this subject are available on the website of San Diego State University’s <a href="https://womenintvfilm.sdsu.edu/research/" rel="nofollow">Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film</a>.</p><p><b>As of January 2026, this list contains films in 86 languages from 147 countries and over 3,750 directors across a timespan of 121 years.</b> See the <a href="https://letterboxd.com/meagan/list/stuff-by-women-about-women/stats/" rel="nofollow">Stats</a> page for more.</p><p>Special congratulations to @M█████_F██████ (now blocked and thus his comments are hidden) for accidentally summing up more succinctly than I ever could why this list exists, while simultaneously missing the point:</p><blockquote><p>I’m thinking of making a list of films made by men. That would take me an infinite number of years 😂😂😂😂 .</p></blockquote><p>Since this list is much less time-consuming to make—enjoy!</p><p>- - - - - - - - - - -</p><p><b><i>Update 11/16/24:</i></b> As a courtesy to the Christmasheads, all Christmas movies are now cross-listed on <a href="https://boxd.it/ArHaC" rel="nofollow"><b>Christmas stuff by women, about women</b></a>.</p><p><b><i>Update 2/4/24:</i></b> (1) All stand-up specials, stage performances, concerts, music videos, “behind-the-scenes” and “making-of” films, standalone TV show episodes, and all other similar listings have been migrated over to a new list: <a href="https://boxd.it/stSBG" rel="nofollow"><b><i>More</i> stuff by women, about women</b></a>. Documentaries and miniseries remain on the main list along with regular ol’ movies. (2) This list is now sorted by Average Rating (High to Low).
