My Take
David Mackenzie is a director I trust more with every film. The Scottish filmmaker and Sigma Films co-founder moves fluidly between gritty character studies like Young Adam and Starred Up and the sun-bleached modern western Hell or High Water, which earned a Cannes premiere in 2016. What unites his work is an unflinching interest in cornered men and their flickering humanity. He never courts the spotlight, yet the craftsmanship is undeniable. I find him one of Britain's most quietly dependable storytellers, a director whose steady, unshowy command rewards repeat viewing far more than louder peers.
