My Take
David Gordon Green is a director whose range honestly fascinates me. He started in 1997 and broke through with George Washington in 2000, a quiet, lyrical Southern indie that announced a serious filmmaker out of Little Rock and the North Carolina School of the Arts. What I respect is how far he's roamed since those early dramas like All the Real Girls and Snow Angels. Few directors swing from tender naturalism to studio horror without losing their fingerprints. I find that restlessness admirable rather than scattershot, and it makes me want to revisit his early work to trace the through-line in his sensibility.
