That film still isn't playing anywhere near me.
The thing that bugs me about the outcry for female directors to be nominated for Best Director is that all they talk about is Greta Gerwig and Little Women. Nobody mentions Lulu Wang for The Farewell, Alma Har'el for Honey Boy or Jennifer Kent for The Nightingale.
