Movies Centered Around Single Outcast Women?


I tend to love these movies. I just used the term "Outcast" as am umbrella. It could be a 35-yr old woman who's a virgin (Rachel, Rachel) or a woman who might be shy, overweight (Sugarbaby)... Especially movies where there might be characters, but they're in the background while we see her in public, but also in private, when she's all alone. She might be masturbating, eating, crying, watching TV, but they usually get the audience to emphasize with her, although that isn't the important thing. It is nice to "fall in love" with a woman on screen, because you can sorta be in the movie, vicariously, maybe placing yourself in a role, where your imagination can roam free with hers.

Anyway, I recommend those movies:
-Rachel, Rachel (1967)
-Sugarbaby (1985) - which is on Prime, but also on YouTube

See The Sea (97) is not about a ‘single’ woman, the main character is married with a small baby but her husband is off on some extended business trip so she’s all alone and isolated in a small beach front cottage.

One day a feral, crude woman shows up at her door asking to pitch her tent out back. The lonely mother offers this traveller some kindness and the results are tragic.

Directed by Francois Ozon, it’s pretty creepy and only about fifty minutes long. If you can find it check it out.
