Women Is Losers is a 2021 American drama film written and directed by Lissette Feliciano.

Plot

In 1967 San Francisco, Celina Guerrera is a studious teenager who attends a Catholic high school and is from a conservative immigrant family. When the course of her life is altered by an unplanned pregnancy, she sets out to rise above poverty and invest in a future for herself.

Cast

Production

In February 2019, Deadline Hollywood announced Lorenza Izzo would star in the feminist indie drama written and directed by Lissette Feliciano in her feature directorial debut.

In March 2019, it was announced that Bryan Craig hard joined the cast,[2] and The Hollywood Reporter announced that Liza Weil and Simu Liu had joined.[3] The film was shot on location in San Francisco.[4]

Release

The film premiered at South by Southwest on March 16, 2021.[5] In September 2021, HBO Max acquired distribution rights and set it for an October 25, 2021 release.[6]

Reception

Women Is Losers holds a 72% approval rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, whose consensus reads: "While it might have benefited from a subtler approach to its message, Women Is Losers is elevated by outstanding work from lead Lorenza Izzo."[7] Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a B−, writing Women Is Losers “is an infectious and auspicious debut…surely the start of something wonderful for [Lissette] Feliciano”.[4]

Variety also praised Izzo's performance, with critic Tomris Laffly saying: “Izzo delivers a vibrant performance that reinforces her fascinating acting range…It’s a rewarding experience to watch Izzo thread a tricky line with ease here, emitting both a childlike innocence and gradual steeliness that slowly yet convincingly sharpens and matures”.[8]
