Synopsis

Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual, feminine and real, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. Presenting her astonishing prints, pastels and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted.

Critics' reviews

"A study of a female painter who exhibited with the first impressionists in 19th-century Paris but saw little of their renown is fascinating and moving (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
