Two meh films with great female lead perfs are The Good German and Running with Scissors.
In the former, Cate Blanchett demonstrates her chameleon quality that puts her on par with the best of Meryl Streep, imo. The retro-styled McGuffin mystery set in the aftermath of WWII Berlin is marginally interesting and mildly enjoyable ... but Blanchette is a knock-out as the down-on-her-luck femme fatale.
In Scissors, Annette Bening is captivating as a mentally ill mom in an otherwise confusing and convoluted mess of a memoir movie that will make you feel mentally ill.
