Speaking at the Calvin Klein’s Women in Film party at the Cannes Film Festival, the 45-year-old star said: “Jane Campion is right to say that there’s an inherent sexism in the film industry. But there’s also a lack of women putting themselves forward”.
The Oscar-nominated actress also said female directors and actors have a different voice and different stories. “It’s not helpful to be compared to men,” she said.

“Time and time again, we don’t get our share of representation. Sorry gentleman, but you do eat more of the cake,” she said.
