 “But if you go…you’ll intuit his visual sophistication and his facility for sculpting his actors; there is more interesting direction going on here than you see in the work of other, far louder, directors. It’s impressive: there’s attention paid to the emotional honesty of the work, and yet also to the richness of the storytelling...”
