Modern cinema is gradually untangling itself from the taboo of older female sexuality. Films like Good Luck to You, Leo Grande starring Emma Thompson, or The Matrix Resurrections featuring Carrie-Anne Moss, present mature women as desiring and desirable individuals, challenging the puritanical notion that romantic or sexual agency expires with youth.
