Knight at the Movies: Violette; The Hundred-Foot Journey

When Barbra Streisand addressed a Women in Film group in 1992 and said, "If a man wants to get it right, he's looked up to and respected. If a woman wants to get it right, she's difficult and impossible," she could easily have been talking about the three female leading characters in Lucy, Violette and The Hundred-Foot Journey. These complex women—played by Scarlett Johansson, the marvelous French actress Emmanuelle Devos and Helen Mirren—have reminded me as if I needed reminding how much I love female-driven movies and how rare pictures like these are, but shouldn't be.
