It really got me thinking about work,\u201d Hague tells Dazed. The theme of women at work feels especially timely, following a recent New York Times podcast that questioned whether \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/11\/06\/opinion\/women-workplace-feminism-conservative.html\"><span>Liberal Feminism Ruined the Workplace<\/span><\/a><span>\u201d, featuring two conservative writers. \u201cThe films are all about women at work,\u201d Hague explains, \u201cbut the feelings of discontent, unhappiness, and dreams of a better life are experiences that resonate with so many of us. What I find fascinating is the sense of solidarity between women in these films. They support one another through the mundaneness of everyday life. You can often feel like you\u2019re in competition with your colleagues, but a lot of these films reject that idea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>From well-known films like <\/span><em><span>Real Women Have Curves<\/span><\/em><span> (2002) to lesser-known classics like <\/span><em><span>Supermarket Woman<\/span><\/em><span> (1996), Hague talks us through the movie she\u2019s chosen for the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fruitsofherlabour.films\/\">Fruits of Her Labour<\/a><em>will run from November 13-25 at <a href=\"https:\/\/riocinema.org.uk\/Rio.dll\/WhatsOn?f=1621557\">Rio Cinema, Dalston<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketsource.co.uk\/star-and-shadow-cinema\/t-ldkzpoy\">Star &amp; Shadow, Newcastle<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-launcher listicle-gallery slides owl-carousel\" data-gallery-title=\"Fruits of Her Labour\">\n<div class=\"gallery-nav\">\n<div class=\"slide-index\">\n1\/5\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-zero-tag-line slide-zero-tag-line-hidden\">\nYou may like\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/film-tv\/article\/69074\/1\/fruits-of-her-labour-working-women-on-screen-films-feminism\/slide-2\" class=\"listicle-gallery-btn next\" data-target-slide-id=\"f812c166-7047-42b0-af0c-b39400f587bb\" data-dir=\"next\"><br \/>\nnext<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item slide \" id=\"51fb2a78-f920-4a11-a1f1-b39400f586e8\" data-current-slide=\"1\/5\" data-next-slide=\"f812c166-7047-42b0-af0c-b39400f587bb\" data-previous-slide=\"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\" data-slide-ref=\"slide-1\">\n<div class=\"gallery-nav gallery-nav-mobile\">\n<div class=\"hidden-tablet hidden-desktop\">\n1\/5\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-index hidden-phone\">\n1\/5\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item-content\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item-contents\">\n<div class=\"image-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Letter to Brezhnev (1985), dir.

They have mundane office jobs that wear them down and are constantly given busy work by their managers. That might sound a bit drab, but it\u2019s darkly comedic as well.

I programmed it for the season because it is still relevant to how we feel about work today. So many people don\u2019t get meaning from their jobs, and they\u2019re just sitting idly by waiting for the clock to hit five every day, but they also have these really intense bonds at work as well. Even if your work does give you meaning, you still need a job to survive. It shows the stupidity of it all.

After 15 years of working and living with this family, Jessica\u2019s presence is quite disruptive because she\u2019s this young girl who is very self-assured and exists outside of the world of work and is really attuned to the absurdity of everything.<\/span><span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><span>The family they live with don\u2019t explicitly assert that Val and Jessica are less than them, but when Jessica comes to live in their big mansion, her mother forces her to sleep in her room rather than stay in one of the many spare rooms.
