My Take
Bennett Miller is one of the most disciplined directors working, and his restraint is exactly what fascinates me. With only a handful of features, Capote, Moneyball and Foxcatcher, he has built a reputation for cold, precise studies of ambition and obsession. Two Best Director nominations confirm the industry sees it too. His patience verges on the maddening, yet that selectivity is also why each film lands with such weight. I trust a filmmaker who would rather wait than dilute. I keep hoping he returns soon, because his quiet, unsettling rigor is genuinely his own.
