Kristen Stewart Says Hollywood Has ‘Chosen Four’ Female Filmmakers to Promote: It’s ‘Phony’

Kristen Stewart called out Hollywood for only supporting select female filmmakers like Margot Robbie and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Stewart, who is set to make her directorial debut with an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch memoir “ The Chronology of Water,” told Porter magazine that there is a “phony” performative structure to which women filmmakers find success in the film industry. The Oscar-nominated actress and “Twilight” alum compared modern gender discrimination to the past, calling today’s approach a more “passive aggressive” one that can slide under the radar. My movie is about incest and periods and a woman violently repossessing her voice and body, and it is, at times, hard to watch…but it’s gonna be a fucking thrill ride.”
