This percentage remained at 33.6%, the same as in 2024 and slightly higher than in 2023 (31.7%). The highest figure was recorded in 2022 at 34.6%. Women had the largest share of speaking roles in comedies (38.7%), action films (30.4%), and animated films (28.6%).

L'opera, ambientata in un futuro distopico, segue due donne trans che cercano di giustificare un grave crimine commesso contro la comunità trans. Wachowski ha descritto il film come un modo per esprimere la sua frustrazione verso la discriminazione e la violenza subita dalle persone trans nel mondo reale. Questo non è il primo caso in cui la vita personale delle sorelle Wachowski, entrambe trans, si intreccia con il loro lavoro artistico.
