My Take

Craig Gillespie is one of those directors who quietly became indispensable — you might not always know his name, but you've almost certainly felt his fingerprints. He came up through commercials, which honestly shows in the best way: there's a precision and a visual confidence in his work that most feature directors never develop. Lars and the Real Girl caught everyone off guard with how tender and strange it was, but it was I, Tonya that really made people sit up — a figure skating biopic that somehow felt like a punk rock record, with Margot Robbie delivering one of the decade's great performances. Then Cruella proved he could handle a Disney blockbuster without losing his edge. The guy has serious range, and I think he's still flying a little under the radar relative to how good he actually is.
