After watching Mona Lisa Smile I can see why indeed Mona Lisa is smiling. This film is the perfect example for all women. A drama with all that the genre implies director Mike Newell’s Mona Lisa Smile is a strong, vibrant, living, breathing depiction of women in post-war America. After growing up in California her whole life, a bohemian teacher by the name of Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts) comes to teach art history at Wellesley College, an all-female campus with a reputation for academic distinction. Unfortunately, Ms. Watson soon finds out that most of her students such as Betty Warren (Kirsten Dunst), Joan Brandwyn (Julia Stiles), and Giselle Levy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) would rather acquire a husband than an education.
