Female-driven films in the spotlight

Rating: 4/5
Soldiers-versus-monsters flicks tend to be unapologetically cheesy. Too often, they get lazy, with the irony curdling into insincerity and the gore becoming just another overused prop.
This movie sets a higher goal. It features a group of Allied airmen - and one airwoman - battling a creature without embracing cheesiness, jump scares or wanton violence.
New Zealand director and co-writer Roseanne Liang not only delivers thrilling action minus the B-movie cheese, but she also slips in themes of misogyny and the erasure of the contributions of women from popular accounts of World War II.
Maude Garrett (Chloe Grace Moretz) boards a bomber in Auckland, New Zealand, as a passenger on a hush-hush mission. The men on board, miffed at playing bus driver for a mere woman, are immediately hostile and put her in the Sperry, the transparent machine-gun dome in the belly.
