Mona Lisa Smile isn’t just a movie—it’s a conversation starter. If you love movies about women breaking barriers, this one’s a must-watch. It’s not flashy or fast-paced, but it lingers—the kind of film that makes you pause and reflect. The scene where they analyze Mona Lisa’s smile? A whole metaphor for how women are expected to be pleasant no matter what they feel inside. Betty Warren’s character arc? Absolutely brilliant. It’s not telling women what life they should choose; it’s telling them they have a choice. If you’re looking for a light rom-com, this ain’t it. But if you’re in the mood for something thought-provoking—maybe with a glass of wine and some good company—this one’s for you.
