Our take
A huge hit in its native Netherlands, Nouchka van Brakel’s second feature is her most explicitly feminist work. Starring the brilliant Monique van de Ven (Turkish Delight) as a woman who leaves her family for her female lover, A Woman Like Eve is a deeply compassionate tale of personal emancipation.
