My Take
Mary Harron earns my respect for daring to direct American Psycho, dissecting a man's lethal vanity with the calm precision few filmmakers possess. Where others might have wallowed in gore, she sharpened it into biting satire of consumer culture, and that intelligence is her signature. From I Shot Andy Warhol to The Notorious Bettie Page to Netflix's Alias Grace, she keeps choosing dangerous, provocative subjects and refuses to flinch. I'm drawn to directors with this kind of muscular authorial vision, and Harron has it in abundance.
