Check out article from Deadline:
‘According to the authors, only 30 of the 100 top films of 2023 featured a female-identified actor as a lead/co lead at the center of the plot. That percentage (30%) was substantially lower than the 44% tallied in 2022.’
'The results this year point to an industry grown apathetic about efforts surrounding diversity and inclusion. While it is critical to celebrate the achievements of significant films like Barbie, there must be more than one or a handful of films that reflect the experiences of women and people of color each year. Until the industry stops hiding behind a single exemplar, change will remain elusive.'
