“Crossing Delancey” by Joan Micklin Silver (1988)

Movies directed by women

Joan Micklin Silver 4/4

A stereotype of a romantic comedy with classic gender roles
An almost all white cast with discriminating undertones
Clumsy editing, but good secondary personages — in strong contrast with the insipid leads -, regular touches of humor and intelligent dialogue
