Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

rfabian2011 I was really excited for the female version of That Guy, and That Gal certainly delivered. With a cast of women demonstrating a wide range of film and TV credits, the documentary painted a frank picture of what it means to be a woman in entertainment, particularly of a certain age. This also seems to be an appropriate time for its release, given that statistics of working women in Hollywood have actually dropped over the past several years and the conversation surrounding feminism (aka equality for women) is gaining some momentum. It's helpful and impactful to see That Gal put familiar faces and their experiences to statistics. Not to mention, That Gal is also entertaining. Definitely worth seeing!

jenmaravegias-58204 I really enjoyed That Guy... and was very excited to learn that the filmmakers were giving the ladies of Hollywood their fair shake as well. This is a very well made doc, the women who are interviewed are insightful, funny and excruciatingly self-aware. I think this is an important movie because it's one thing for us to hear well-known female stars talking about inequality in Hollywood when they are making big paychecks and have their names above the titles. But it's a wholly different thing to hear from the women who have been working their butts off in Hollywood and are barely known. If you don't recognize who most of these women are I think it proves the point. They are literally in every thing and have been for a long time. Because they are not Gwyneth or Sandra, Julia or Jennifer doesn't mean they should be invisible. It doesn't make their stories or their work any less valid. The men and women featured in these documentaries are the backbone of the industry and we should be paying more attention to them. Bravo!

charles-40-708665 Having seen most of these ladies in many shows and movies over the years (especially Roma Maffia, Catherine Hicks, and Alicia Coppola), it was a pleasure to spend some time with them hearing about their experiences, both good and bad, in the business.Acting seems to be an uphill profession for either gender, but this documentary brought home the fact that women deal with even more hurdles than their male counterparts (timing pregnancies, even greater pressure about aging, whether or not to help nature out with plastic surgery). These women are true survivors - the real mark of success is longevity - and it's nice to see the spotlight on them for a change.

Dan Abrams Documentaries on movie stars can be found virtually everywhere. But this doc (as well as its predecessor "THAT GUY...") tells compelling stories about some of those great actors whose names aren't above the title. "THAT GAL..." is a brilliant, honest, heart-breaking yet inspirational look at the intrepid pros whose names may be hard to remember but whose performances are unforgettable. You'll recognize Paget Brewster from the 2015 season of "COMMUNITY" and Roxanne Hart from the legendary sci-fi classic "HIGHLANDER". Roma Maffia was particularly memorable in "DISCLOSURE" as well as the Johnny Depp thriller "OUT OF TIME". And Jayne Atkinson has been a pillar of "HOUSE OF CARDS","CRIMINAL MINDS", as well as "24". What these and the other actors in the documentary illustrate are the often harsh but occasionally glorious realities of the acting business. This is not a puff-piece and it's not a tawdry expose. It's a refreshing peek into what it takes to make it as a professional actor -- namely: passion for the art form to motivate yourself and the grit to endure the tough times. This is a must-see for all aspiring actors as well as for those struggling actors who want to remind themselves that this business is hard for almost everyone but worth it if you can keep going.
