TELL IT LIKE A WOMAN is actually seven stories in one. In the first, Jennifer Hudson stars as an incarcerated mother with substance abuse and mental health issues. In the second, Marcia Gay Harden plays a doctor who helps a woman (Cara Delevingne) with schizophrenia and no home. In the third, Eva Longoria travels to Italy to bury her sister, only to find that she's been assigned as guardian for a niece she didn't know she had. In the fourth, Anne Watanabe plays an overworked mother whose kids do something nice for her. In the fifth, Margherita Buy plays a veterinarian put in a position to help an abused woman. In the sixth, Jacqueline Fernandez stars as an unhappy plastic surgeon who lets go of her pursuit of perfection after meeting a trans woman. The seventh is an animated film where alien-like creatures, forced to repeat gender stereotypes playing on televisions in surveilled concrete cells, are liberated.
