About This Movie

So, 'Lily' dives deep into the life of Lily Renée, the first female comic book artist. It's really a fascinating look at her journey from war-torn Austria to the bustling comic scene in New York. The pacing feels reflective, almost like you're on this quiet journey with her, which makes the historical context hit harder. The atmosphere is rich with the struggles of her time, and it's interesting how the documentary highlights the challenges she faced in a male-dominated industry. The archival footage and illustrations used are striking and give a real sense of her impact. It’s a nuanced portrayal that captures her spirit without over-dramatizing. Definitely worth considering for those who appreciate the evolution of comics and women's roles in art.
