It’s always satisfying to finish off a director’s CV especially one as good as <PERSON>. He’s a great director because he can balance script, style, and performance with a seeming ease. Just look here at the sister being informed of the gentleman caller. 529
The camera is this roving monster with fast edits showcasing the emotional imbalance the moment provides for her smashing into a mid point shot of the characters opposed just as she begins to find the strength and settlement of mind to find her position on the matter.
