Genderly: Language, Bias, and Representation in Film Criticism
Update: 2025-06-04
Description
What can film reviews tell us about gender bias in the movie industry?
Dr Wael Khreich from the American University of Beirut explores this question with Genderly, a custom-built AI tool that analyses the language of 17,000 professional reviews. His findings reveal that female-led films are far more likely to be judged through a biased lens—subtly and overtly reinforcing stereotypes. This research sheds light on how language shapes perception, influences careers, and contributes to broader societal inequalities.
