Set It Off
A tight-knit group of friends decide to rob banks in this unapologetically subversive display of black female agency.
Director: F. Gary Gray
Overview
Starring Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett-Smith, feminist awakening and female friendship is more at the forefront of Set it Off than sex itself. But within its heist movie parameters, it becomes a surprisingly moving treatise on the nature of self-love and sexual confidence, centring female pleasure and selfhood above the attractions of any man.
