> “When I was young, there were really no American women directors, maybe a few. I didn’t think I was allowed to be a director. And that’s not true anymore. I couldn’t be prouder to have watched Greta Gerwig this year with ‘Barbie.’ Not only was this wonderful director recognized, but it was because there were people behind her saying, ‘You’re not a risk.’ I never thought that was going to happen. So there’s just a big smile on my face.”
There are loads of great movies being made by women. Barbie is the least interesting example.
