Hollywood star Julianne Moore warns women are being pushed back
- On Saturday, Oscar-winning actor Julianne Moore discussed role selection at a Kering Women in Motion Talk during the Cannes Film Festival, stating she avoids films with "explosions and guns" when global conditions feel unstable.
- While receiving the festival's Women in Motion Award, Moore described the recognition as "a thrill and a tremendous honor," reflecting on her decades-long career in an industry structured as a gig economy.
- Moore noted that female lead roles dropped to 37% in 2025's highest-grossing films, a 10% decline from 2024, adding that "it's not endemic just to the film industry, it's global."
- To counter these trends, Moore emphasized that "women are each other's greatest allies," advocating that hiring other women and writing their own stories represents "the secret sauce" to industry success.
- Reflecting on her 1993 breakthrough in Robert Altman's "Short Cuts," Moore observed that "there's more female directors and writers now" compared to when she began her career decades ago.
