The 2010s have been a pretty interesting year in film. As we championed and celebrated racial and gender diversity in Hollywood, it still seems as though we have such a long way to regarding representation and equal pay for women and people of color.
On the flip side, Millennials were able to see themselves and their stories on-screen this past decade than ever before in film history. Whether it was heart wrenching films about mental health, or coming of age flicks about Black Boys discovering their sexuality — lots of movies from the 2010s will go down in cinema history as timeless and groundbreaking.
Hell, we even got to see films that made us sympathize with villains. Talk about perspective shifts.
