'If we see a movie where the male actor is the same age as the female actor, we find that odd. Which is insane... It should completely be normalized that the age gaps switch and that women have different relationships.' Halina Reijn, the writer-director of 'Babygirl', highlighted the societal double standards regarding age gaps in romantic relationships in film.
'We're not trapped in a box anymore... We internalize the male gaze, we internalize patriarchy, and we need to free ourselves from it. It's really hard.' Reijn discusses the need for greater representation of women's perspectives in cinema and to break free from traditional norms that confine women.
