Kristen Stewart critiques Hollywood’s limited female representation.
In a recent interview, acclaimed actress Kristen Stewart reflected on the patriarchal undercurrents within the film industry and Hollywood’s tendency to tout selective female figures.
While praising actors like Maggie Gyllenhaal and Margot Robbie for their work, Stewart remarked that championing only a few women fails to broaden perspectives truly.
She acknowledged loving and respecting these individuals but noted such moves feel “phoney” without sufficient progress. The Twilight star further highlighted the financial struggles independent makers like herself have faced.
Stewart expressed reluctance towards commercial superhero movies, describing them as a “nightmare” unless directed by filmmaker Greta Gerwig.
The actor-filmmaker is awaiting the release of her directorial debut, ‘The Chronology of Water, ‘ which documents her journey. Stewart has several films lined up, including ‘Sacramento’ and the vampire thriller ‘Flesh and Gods’.
Her comments come at a time when the conversation around gender parity in Hollywood remains active. While praising trailblazers, Stewart’s critiques underline the need for Hollywood to meaningfully empower diversity of Thought and representation behind the scenes.
