The Woman Who Left (Filipino: Ang Babaeng Humayo) is a 2016 Philippine drama film written, produced, edited, and directed by Lav Diaz. Filmed entirely in black-and-white, it was selected to compete in the main competition section at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival where it won the Golden Lion.[2][3] Although it has received a very limited release, the film has received acclaim from critics.

The Woman Who Left was the first film made by Charo Santos-Concio when she returned to acting after stepping down as president and CEO of ABS-CBN Corporation.
